Used for the first time. Website slow between continue buttons. Only payment option is a credit card. I prefer other options eg PayPal, Apple Pay. as more secure

It’s a decent app and easy for kids to use but the charge is the down side. I imagine more established banks may provide a kids’ bank account free. Worth shopping around. I do like Henry’s card design... See more

The UX is frustrating in several areas. It's fine if you just have one parent or guardian who adds money to the child's account, but if relatives want to pay into it, there are too many barriers. Diff... See more

Hi Anon, we charge a small fee so we can keep building the best hands-on money experience for kids. We think it’s great value for what you get: https://blog.gohenry.com/uk/financial-education/your-gohenry-membership-fee/ 😊

Monthly fee payments

I transferred enough money to the Gohenry account to pay out pocket money and you immediately took the monthly fee from me, very unhappy with this tactic of yours, you usually take this from me by direct debit from my bank account.

Hi Dave,

We're sorry to hear that you're unhappy with your recent membership fee payment.

By default, membership fees are taken from the available balance in your parent account first. If there aren't enough funds available there, the payment will automatically be taken from your saved payment method. We don't collect membership fees by direct debit, instead, payments are made using the recurring payment authority linked to your saved card.

We'd like to take a closer look at what happened in your case. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to locate an account using the email address provided in your Trustpilot review, so we've sent you an email requesting a few additional details to help us investigate this further.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Calumn - GoHenry Supervisor

It's ok

It's ok, but hard for younger kids to log in without a phone. Moved to Monzo as it's free and offers a better experience for parent management

Thanks for your feedback, Philias! Kids should be able to use the app on any iOS or Android device, including a shared family tablet. Our subscription helps us improve and add features, but we understand it's not for everyone!

Love this app

Love this app! My daughter has had it for years. She is 15 now and still loves it. Allocating chores, leatning to save with the piggy bank function, learning how to buy items safely online and even using the card abroad! Family members are able to send money through as gifts too. All of this and I have complete controll. Setting parameters as she has grown and keeping track has been brilliant. I have recommended Go Henry to soooooo many people as it is truely worth it

Hi Kyle,

Thank you for your review and also for speaking with me today to discuss your account and the reason that the account was blocked.

As you may know, GoHenry is an approved member of the VISA Youth scheme and is limited to, and intended only as, a pocket money account for children. We do monitor the accounts to ensure that the scheme is being used as intended. We review all of this information and may require some additional confirmation of funds which was required on your account.

Thank you for providing the relevant information after the call. This has been passed back to the team, and I am currently waiting on an update before reaching back out to you.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please feel free to reply to the email that I sent earlier or give us a call on 0330 100 7676.

Thanks
Catherine

Hi Bear,

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us. I appreciate that the membership fee can be a sticking point for our members, and to try to cater to everyone we have different levels of membership at different prices. GoHenry is a subscription-based service rather than a bank account. This means that monthly membership fees are charged for using the service, and to help us continue providing and developing the features available to our members.

Our membership plans are as follows:

Everyday – £3.99 per child, per month
Plus – £5.99 per child, per month
Max – £9.99 per month for 2–4 children

Unfortunately, I’m unable to locate your account using the information provided in your Trustpilot review, so I can’t confirm exactly which Membership plan you are on.
