Minor accounts are now available for users in 🇳🇱 The Netherlands, 🇩🇪 Germany, 🇪🇸 Spain, 🇮🇹 Italy, 🇫🇷 France and 🇮🇪 Ireland.

How do I open an account for my child?

Follow the simple steps below to do so:

Select Home 🏠
Click on Add
🟣 Add Child
Fill in your child's personal information
Select the desired account type, set up the desired budget and choose which plan you want your child to be using.

What should my child do?

Once you've filled your child's telephone number and email address, an invitation will be sent through SMS or email. Once the invitation is accepted, your kid should simply follow the flow. Once the invitation process is done, you'll have full access to your child's account.

What do you need to open an account?

All you'll need to open an account for your child will be an active email address or telephone number of theirs and to fill in their personal information 📄

Good to know

A proof of relation is asked when the names of the minor and legal guardian/parent aren't the same.
The parent should have a Personal account in order to give the child permission to have an account. The child can choose any of our plans (More info on our plans here)
You as a parent have full overview and access to your child's account.
No minimum age is required.
When your child turns 18 years old we break the Connect so they can have their own personal account , provided the account has its own alias.
