Advice for parents

The card linked to a child’s account and Netbank are always intended for the child’s personal use. Opening these services requires that the child has an official identity card or a passport.

The child’s accounts can also be linked to the parents’ Netbank if the parents prefer not to order personal access codes for the child. Alternatively, a Netbank viewing right can be ordered for viewing the child’s account. In this case, the child does not necessarily need personal access codes. The difference is that payments can also be made in Netbank and mobile bank with the access codes, whereas the Netbank viewing right only allows viewing of account transactions.  

With a smartphone, the code app and mobile bank, the child is able to make payments and check their account transactions easily and independently. 

The parents should also note that in Netbank and mobile bank the child also sees the funds and equity investments made, if any. However, an underage child cannot independently make any buy or sell orders.
