First, the child will get an idea about money. It can be said that he will understand by his own example how much pocket money he receives. If you tell the child the amount that will be credited to the account once in a certain period (daily, weekly, monthly), then he will be able to visualize his “income”, as well as expenses;
secondly, a bank card for a child has a positive effect on the formation of financial literacy. A young citizen will be able to learn how to save money, manage money rationally, and strive to keep their savings, for example, to buy more expensive toys, gadgets or gifts for friends.
