The Santander Bank Polska mobile app is now also available for children
Santander Bank Polska launches Santander mobile for children aged 7-12
The mobile app for children has been designed with the safety and convenience of younger users in mind.
The launch of a banking app for younger children is an important step in the development of our digital channels. We are committed to simple and intuitive solutions that support everyday financial management while also serving an educational purpose. With the app, children can learn the basics of planning and controlling their spending in a way that is tailored to their age, in a safe environment under parental supervision. For children, it is also a friendly and attractive way to gain experience. The ability to pay for things in a store on their own or track their savings can give them a sense of adulthood and joy, and for us, it is motivation to continuously develop and improve our services. We believe that such solutions not only meet the current needs of families, but also shape the financial attitudes of future generations.
The Santander mobile app can be customized by choosing the welcome message, wallpaper and photo. Users have access to BLIK (payments, withdrawals, and transfers to mobile phones), can manage their card jointly with their parents, and save money with the “My Goals” feature. Mobile top-ups are available for the most popular mobile networks and, of course, there is a discreet mode that allows you to hide your balance in public places. Children can check their account balance and history at any time, while parents have full access to their balance and transactions in the online and mobile banking.
We have been supporting financial education for children for many years. Launching a mobile app for kids is a natural continuation of these efforts. We want young users to learn how to manage their money wisely and safely from an early age, under the supervision of their parents. We believe that such experiences build a solid foundation for the future.
For the safety of young customers, daily transaction limits are low and adjusted to the age of users. By default, they are PLN 50, with a maximum of PLN 100. This allows children to learn financial responsibility within safe limits, under the watchful eye of their parents.
To use the app, parents need to open a Santander account for their child and activate Santander online services for them. This can be done in the same way as when opening an account – in the mobile app, online banking or at a branch.
