Weans are back to school and they do a lot of fannying about after school between gym and training etc. Always yapping about no money for food etc. (we are a cashless house in general!) so anyone know the best option to allow them to use their phone to pay. I don't want to load my card on for obvious reasons :D but surely there is something I could top up which means even if they haven't cash they can pay via contactless. Opening their own account the best option?

Not by phone, but would GoHenry debit (contactless) cards not do the job? Parent app controls spend limit etc our 10 year old has one, great job
Daughters have own account, transferring money is immediate, youngest had Apple pay and uses her phone at the shop!
If I tried that the dirty WhatsApp videos would appear!
I put in a tenner a week (no where near enough) wife adds to it also no doubt..
Revolut, best financial tool I've ever used.

There is a Revolut junior, might be the job.
Cheers lads will check out some of those options.
Revolut does not have a contactless payment functionality via its app but you can add your cards to Google, Apple and Samsung Pay.
For payments via phone, the phone will need an NFC chip. They're pretty much ubiquitous these days, but some cheaper phones will still be missing them.

Well la dee da! A lot of phone for school kids!
Revolut and Apple Pay will meet your needs perfectly. Whether you set them up as junior accounts or give them their own, you can control how much you fund them, and can top them up instantaneously.

I didnt mean it like that ;D (their contracts were cheaper than the existing contract for Galaxy S8s!)
Just checked there and the junior card isn't compatible with Apple Pay yet I might crack on ahead anyway.
