There’s just one HyperJar app — the version kids download is the same as the adult app (with a few little tweaks). When kids with their own phone get the app on their device, they’ll be asked to link it to an adult’s account during the signup process.
HyperJar kids cards are always ‘paired’ to an adult or parent account. So kids don’t have their own account (it’s their mum or dad’s), but they do have their own card. Any child with their own phone and number can download the app on their device. They’ll be asked to link it to an adult’s account during the signup process.
No, we don’t allow cash withdrawals with HyperJar cards.
Kids should ask their mum or dad to contact our customer support team via Live Chat, or email support@hyperjar.com if they have a question or problem with their cards.
Yes! There are zero fees added when paying abroad with the kids or adult HyperJar prepaid cards.
There are no fees for transferring money into a HyperJar account — you can move money in as often as you like. Once it lands in the adult’s account, it can be moved into the Jars they share with their kids manually or via scheduled, regular payments (eg, the 1st of every month, or every Monday). Check out our travel card page to learn more!
In the UK, a child can acquire a prepaid debit card from the age of 6 and over when the account's opened by a parent. From the ages of 11 and over, kids can then apply for child accounts from certain branches. Learn more by reading our Guide to Debit Cards For Kids.
HyperJar is not a bank, but you’ll get the best bits of a bank, along with all the amazing features that HyperJar offers, and a Mastercard debit card. Unlike traditional banking apps and cards, we offer loads of money management and spending control features, to help kids and adults make the most of their money. If you lose your kids card, you can freeze the card directly from the app.
