It's very good. The only issue i have is if you pay manually before the allowance is due to your child, you are hit with allowance reminders through email/texts it wasn't paid directly through them.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and review. We’re pleased to hear that you are enjoying the allowance feature and finding it helpful for your family’s routine.

Regarding the card not being accepted in certain shops, because GoHenry is a youth card designed specifically for young people, it automatically blocks transactions at merchants that sell age-restricted items. You can always see the exact reason a payment didn’t go through by checking your child’s statement in the GoHenry app.

If you’d like us to look into a specific shop for you, please feel free to reach out at help@gohenry.co.uk or give us a call on 0330 100 7676. We’re always happy to help 😊

Great App for kids and parents alike

Very motivating for my 8 year old to earn her own money and experience how to budget and save. App is very easy to set up and use. Love that there is a savings and investment option. 5 stars! 🌟

Fees expensive

Reply from GoHenry

Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to review our service. We completely understand that the monthly fee can be a sticking point for some. We charge a small fee each month so that we can deliver the quality service your family relies on. It directly pays for three critical areas:

👨🏻‍💻Our Dedicated Support Team: You are speaking to me right now! We staff a specialized team of real people, available to help with card issues, app questions, and financial education features. A basic bank often routes you to long phone queues or automated bots. Your fee ensures you can reach us when you need us.
📲Continuous App Development: The fee funds our team of engineers and designers who are constantly adding those premium features—like goal setting, chore integration, and new security updates—that make our app the best financial tool for your child.
🔐Security and Card Management: We pay fees to card networks (like Visa/Mastercard) and data security experts to ensure every transaction is secure, and that the instant card-locking feature works perfectly, giving you complete control and peace of mind.

I hope this helps explain the reason for the fee, but if you have further queries, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Everything was fine until…

Everything was fine until they kept on taking money from my credit card (which I’d removed as a payment option), each month for the monthly membership fee. Had to remove the card multiple times but it kept on happening, there excuse for the card being put back onto the app as a payment option was “if it can’t be taken from your regular card it will use one you’ve used previously even if you’ve removed it”….again, no reason whatsoever for it not to be able to be taken from my regular card. Eventually they blocked my credit card so nothing could be taken out ever again, great, but then I started having trouble with my regular card that I have always use for the app, it wouldn’t let me transfer funds or anything, it kept saying there was an error, & this went on & on & on, & yes the card was in date & valid, it doesn’t run out until next year!
After about a month of this I decided to just close my child’s accounts & have the money transferred over to a different account of mine so I could then set up a different spending card with a different provider, & yes, you’ve guessed it, more issues. Cancelled the accounts fine, but my child’s funds which were supposed to be sent over to another account never arrived! At their end it got sent apparently, but at my end there’s absolutely nothing. I contacted my bank to check, & they couldn’t find any such payment going into my bank account. GoHenry refused to do a forward track on the transaction as advised by my bank, instead they just fobbed me back & forth between themselves & my bank. A month & a half later & still no sign of my children’s money, the money is lost, vanished, disappeared! & it looks like my kids will never get it back either!
I am in the middle of closing my child’s JISA with GoHenry & I am very concerned that I will loose nearly £100 worth of savings when I try & transfer that now!
Wish I had never ever started with GoHenry! My kids spending cards are now with Monzo, & so far so good, & FREE! So if you’re thinking of getting GoHenry DON’T! Go for Monzo instead, or, just simple go with your own bank account for your kids .

Hi Lisa

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a Trustpilot review and for bringing this to our attention. We are incredibly sorry to hear about the frustration you’ve experienced regarding your payments and the delay in receiving your children's remaining funds. This is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide.

Regarding the payment issues you described, we understand how concerning it is to see charges on a card you believed was removed. Furthermore, the delay in your closing balance refund is something we want to investigate further. We take the security and successful transfer of our members' money very seriously.

To ensure we resolve this and locate the refund, please contact us directly at help@gohenry.co.uk or call us on 0330 100 7676. Lines are open 8 am - 8 pm, 7 days a week.
When contacting by email, please use the subject line "Trustpilot Review - FAO supervisors." We want to work with you to ensure that the funds reach your account.

We hope to get this sorted for you and your children as quickly as possible, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards
Thomas
GoHenry Supervisor.
