It's very good. The only issue i have is if you pay manually before the allowance is due to your child, you are hit with allowance reminders through email/texts it wasn't paid directly through them.

Hi Mick,

​Thank you for sharing your feedback.

I know how frustrating it is when a withdrawal is declined, especially after you've made sure there are funds available. I'd like to help you get this resolved.

​Because we don't have your account details linked to this review, we haven't been able to investigate the specific reason for these declines. Please contact our team at help@gohenry.co.uk or call us on 0330 100 7676 (8am–8pm, 7 days a week) so we can look into this for you.

In the meantime, you may want to check these common settings in your app to ensure everything is configured correctly:

​●When you top up, the money typically sits in the Parent Balance first. Please check that the funds have been moved from your balance onto your son’s card, as they aren't available to spend or withdraw until moved.
​●Check the "Settings" section for your son's card. Ensure that ATM withdrawals are toggled on and that the spending limits haven't been exceeded.
​●If the card is relatively new, he may need to use it once at a chip-and-pin machine in a shop to fully "reset" the chip before an ATM will accept it.
​●You can double-check the PIN instantly within your parent account to ensure the correct code is being used at the machine.

​We are keen to get this working smoothly for you—please reach out so we can investigate further!

Thanks,
Suvechha - GoHenry Supervisor

XP and why it is useless.

What I have noticed is that there is not very many lessons to do and nothing to do with the xp you earn. You can earn xp by doing the money missions apart from as far as I can remember there aren't very many. One of the main problems are that you are unable to do anything with your xp, maybe you can add some kind of reward system for the Xp I don't know. But it would make the app better.

Hi Philip, thank you so much for taking the time to leave your feedback. We currently offer over 100 Money Missions to all members on our Plus or Max membership plans and our Everyday membership offers a selection of Introductory Money Missions. We appreciate your suggestion that this could be improved by making XP 'spendable' and I have passed this to our improvements team! 😊

Hi Riley, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! If you have lost your GoHenry card it is important to ask your parent to replace this through their app as only your parent can report the card as stolen. It is important that we do this because this is the only way to block the old card for security. I've located your account with us and have sent an email to your parent to explain the next steps, please ask them to take a look at this when they can. 😊

Hi Joanne, we love to hear that your child is learning those all important saving skills! Feel free to check out our Junior ISA, which is included in all GoHenry plans. So while they’re busy growing their money skills, you’re growing a pot of money that could help them buy their first car, get on the housing ladder, or start their own business!

Hi Paul,

Thank you for sharing your feedback.

To provide the highest level of security and protect card details, card details are not stored on the app. Please refer to the physical GoHenry card to find your card number, expiry date and CVV.

If there is anything we can assist you with, please contact us at 0330 100 7676 or join our live chat (8 am -8 pm, 7 days a week) or email us at help@gohenry.co.uk.

Excellent bank card for young person

This card is really useful, very easy to use for both me and my son and it’s great the way you can keep track of spending. The fact you can easily change spending settings is great, handy for trips away when likely to be spending more, plus easy to top up. The fact it is already set up for using abroad is great too. Really impressed with it! Would recommend as a debit card for young person. Gives them independence but with parents being able to easily keep an eye on things.

Nice and easy

Nice and easy, although not ideal for us having to transfer money every week. Would prefer to transfer as/when required. Charged a platform fee if we don’t have a monthly transfer set up. Other than that very easy to use and convenient.
