Can consider Revolut Visa debit card. I can use my phone’s app to:
- top up
- view itemized purchases
- lock/unlock the card
remotely.[/quote]

Seems not fm a bank in SG fm a quick google search. I m thinking of a simple Debit card attach to savings acct..a quick search this morning with DBS has minimal spending of $400. I don't like this restriction on meeting minimal for dd.

Good points raised also…it s another app…apl is good in checking the transacted items as and when we want. Do have some phobias coz dd’s hp has banking apps as my hp cannot hold 2 accts. With so many scamming going around …also worrying arh.


Dunno if we can apply supplementary CC with a lower limit, with free annual subscription?

It doesnt matter to me cos i put minimal amt of money inside, around $20 each time. If he needs more then he request from me. The best fxn to me is if the card is lost, i can immediately lock it. Got physical card opens up more food options to them cos paywave via debit card is more widely available than ezlink. I dun like Nets card, if lost then thief has access to whole bank savings acct.

That seems to be similar to what I m doing currently for ezlink. I use app to check balance and top up. Zac can use the Revolut Visa Debit card in school canteen as well? This should cover a wider range of payment mtd, yea?

I just called UOB, can apply supp cc and put a limit and this limit will be taken fm my limit. First yr is free, subsequent yrs annual fee 90+ and waiver based on their discretion. My issue will be I don't check in details the card tranx but just look at the common sellers name..CC tranx also just a tap very east...wait dd misplaced/lost card for a period without even noticing haiz.

I think try yours or see got any no restriction debit card based on savings acct bal.

Zac’s mom, for Revolut card…firstly, I need download the app (on my hp so that dd can have lesser app on her hp). I just imagine…like ezlink card top up, we place card on my hp to top up? Then where do we get the physical card after installing the app?

My DS prefers to use cash in school canteen. The debit card is for his lunch outside with friends. Sometimes he uses Grab pay app (where available, like McD or Burger King), but if HP no battery then he uses this R physical debit card.

Credit card will be very dangerous in the hands of teenagers lol…especially if they decide to use it for online shopping…

They will mail u a physical card (or 2, or 3…) that is linked to your app account. No need tap the card to top up. I use ApplePay to top up in my phone, not sure android got what other options to top up. U can read here, i think can use Google Pay, credit card & bank account to top up:

While chatting..it does hit me that I shouldn't give access too easily. Give is easy take back will be difficult.

yes download app , and apply. i think very fast one ,coz the card is zero amt - no future credit.
If u need to use, u top up - very safe when we travel, even card lost or stolen also never mind as this is not link to any credit and bank acct facility

my children have revoult card too for outside expenses , even when we travel overseas , they can use.
in sch, dd still use cash. for a start, dh put $50 to $100 into dd revoult card.
u can also use Youtrip card.
