Does anyone know if any of the banks here offer such a thing ideally with a debit card?

Just want to let Lindiwe know, I use a debit card all the time, and I can only remember one time in the last few years when a shop said they did not take a debit card -- and apparently it was an issue with my bank's debit card only. I love debit cards.

It's a DEBIT card not a credit card... and it's a great way to help your kids learn how to budget and they don't have to take all their money with them when they go to the Mall etc. If they find something they like, they can draw the amount they require and pay for it in cash (not sure how many shops accept debit cards) Union National Bank does accounts for teens.

My kids have their own accounts, with ENBD and Emirates Islamic bank, no student ID, but parents are listed as guardians. They have debit cards.

Are you mad?????????????????? Ha ha it has been said!! What I'm looking for is an a/c I pay so much into a month and she has a card but can't go over the limit - she's 13 so no student ID. Don't know if I fancy the idea of giving her an additional card on our a/c knowing how efficient the banks are here !! What does she need money for? This is all wrong Angela mark my words you will pay the price later for such generosity at this age. :\: For when you send her to Spinneys! What's wrong with exact cash??? You start the old plastic habit and before you know it your in Hotel Bur dubai.

Think UNB do it. Don't think you need a student card, just parents permission...

You can get an extra credit card and put a limit on it.
