Family controls and safeguards for your child's account

You may be able to add a family member to help manage your child's account.

The family member must:

  • be over 18

  • have a Monzo account

  • share caring and financial responsibility for your child

A family member can:

  • freeze or defrost the card

Only the main account holder can:

  • add or remove family members

  • move money out of the account

  • set or change limits

  • give your child access to the app

To add a family member:

  1. Make sure your phone number is findable in Privacy & security.

  2. Open your child's Under 18s account.

  3. Tap the three dots.

  4. Tap Manage account.

  5. Go to Helping with this account.

  6. Tap Add a family member.

  7. Choose the child or children they'll help with.

  8. Send the invite.
