Can I open an N26 account for my child?
A child account is ideal for teaching children how to handle money in good time. When we are young, we live carefree. Bills and savings are irrelevant to us. But childhood experiences shape us well into late adulthood. Anyone who deals with money early on will have a much better knack for it later on.
N26 currently only offers bank account models for users aged 18 and over. Thanks to the various sub-accounts, however, your children can learn what it means to save money and see how savings are constantly growing. In this way, too, they get an idea of how to handle money properly. If they are already in their teens, they can be positively influenced by this and start saving themselves - perhaps even for their first own car or for their later university career.

What solutions are there to open a child account?
The online bank N26 does not offer its users a direct solution to create a child and youth account, but with Bling It will still be possible. This is a pocket money card (prepaid Mastercard), with which children and young people can pay independently. They also learn how to handle money by getting to know the associated app and using it in a targeted manner.
Alternatively, users can opt for a traditional bank that offers analog account models for children. Examples include DKB, Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank.

Why create a child and youth account at all?
Many families tend to hand over pocket money to their children in cash on a monthly or weekly basis. This means that the entire amount is immediately available and can be spent on sweets and other things. However, this also has huge disadvantages, as the transactions made are not visible anywhere. The money is often spent faster than it was received. Anyone who maintains an attractive overview via app and is also provided with savings models will learn how to handle money well at an early stage and will also be able to implement this in a targeted manner later in life.
