What makes a teen debit card different to a regular bank card or credit card?
The GoHenry debit card for teens is not tied to a bank account— you are only spending money you have (because it’s already loaded onto your card).
Unlike teen credit cards, there’s no risk of damaging your credit score or going into debt. It’s simple—the money you have on your card is the money you can spend or save.

Frequently asked questions
At what age can a teen get a prepaid debit card?
The GoHenry teen debit card is available for children aged 6 to 18. Teens just need their parent or guardian to sign them up to get their GoHenry debit card.
How much is a GoHenry debit card for teens?
The GoHenry debit card costs £3.99 per month per teen. The first 30 days are free, then the monthly fee will be charged, unless your parents cancel. Included in the monthly fee is once monthly parent top-up—any further money transfers cost 50p per transfer.
Where can you use a GoHenry teen debit card?
The GoHenry debit card for teens can be used anywhere that accepts debit card payments and other types of contactless payments, such as Apple Pay (13+). This includes shops, online stores, and ATMs. Our safe spending controls automatically block purchases from ‘over 18’ merchants. Read more about our unsafe spending categories here.
What happens when a teen turns 18? Can they still use their GoHenry teen debit card?
After you turn 18, you can keep using your existing GoHenry card until it expires. Once this has happened, your parent or guardian will need to contact GoHenry to cancel the account, so that they don’t get charged any membership fees. You won’t be able to get a new card after your 18th birthday.
Can the GoHenry debit card for teens be used abroad?
You can use your GoHenry card fee-free when you head abroad. This is because GoHenry doesn't charge commission or ATM withdrawal fees (although some ATMs charge their own fee). Don’t forget to pay in local currency instead of GPB to avoid extra fees!
Can a teen withdraw cash using their prepaid debit card?
You can withdraw cash three times per day with your GoHenry card, up to a total withdrawal limit of £120. If your parent or guardian wants to make the withdrawal limit lower, they can do this in their parent app.
Can under-18s get a contactless prepaid card?
Once you’ve used Chip & PIN for your first transaction, you can use your GoHenry prepaid debit card to make contactless payments of £100 or less in most shops. Plus, go card-free with Apple Pay!
Just add your card via your Apple Pay wallet on your phone or your GoHenry app.
How can a debit card for teens help with financial literacy?
With your own debit card, you can track your cash-flow, learning money management skills like budgeting, saving and smart spending. Plus, the GoHenry 13+ account has loads of teen-exclusive features, for even more financial independence.
