Due to the reload function, this credit card solution is very secure, and spending limits can be controlled by guardians if needed. In this article, we will take a closer look at the features and benefits of the BB Visa Basic Card for children and teenagers.

    The free young account from BB bank

    The young account from BB bank is a solution specifically tailored to the needs of young people to promote financial independence. This account offers a variety of features that allow children and teenagers to manage their own funds, such as their own checking account and a free credit card.

    After successfully opening the checking account, a reloadable credit card can also be applied for online for the child from the age of 12.

    Benefits of the BB bank Visa Basic card

    The BB Bank children's and youth Visa card offers numerous benefits for young customers.

    Advantages:

    • Free account management and Girocard up to 30 years of age.
    • Pay with a smartphone: Simply hold the digital credit card to the card reader and use Apple Pay.
    • Risk-free: With the prepaid function, your child can only spend the money that has been loaded onto the card.

    Overview for your child: Online banking & app

    With BB Bank online banking and the innovative app, it is easy to keep control of finances and learn how to manage money.

    Online banking

    BB Bank's online banking offers its customers a convenient and secure way to manage their finances online, make transfers, check account balances, and control financial transactions conveniently from home or on the go.

    The BB banking app

    With the banking app, account expenses and payment transactions can be controlled and monitored from anywhere. The app includes some convenient features such as mobile payments, branch/ATM finder, photo transfers, Apple Pay, and the electronic mailbox.

    Security precautions

    The “young account,” the debit card, and the banking app are equipped with extensive security precautions. For example, all communication between the BB banking app and BB bank is encrypted. Logging into online banking and the banking app is secured by biometric features. Additionally, you can easily and quickly block your accounts and cards and, if necessary, report to the police.

    What does the BB Visa Basic Card cost?

    In connection with the young account until the age of 30, the debit card costs €9.90 per year, and €19.90 per year after the age of 30.

    What is the difference between a prepaid credit card and a regular credit card?

    Prepaid credit cards require a prior deposit of money onto the card, making them function like a prepaid card without offering a credit line. Traditional credit cards, on the other hand, provide a credit limit, allowing cardholders to make purchases up to a certain limit and repay the outstanding amount at a later date, often with interest.

    How does Apple Pay work with BB Bank?

    Customers can add their BB Bank cards to the Apple Wallet app on their compatible Apple devices and then use them for contactless payments and purchases.
