Customer reviews

“Current has been a lifesaver and never had any issues. And over the years they kept adding great features, which made it more convenient for me moving money from my account to my son’s card. And now that he has a part-time job, he’s using Current for his direct deposit and customer service is A+++++. Thank you Current.”

“I love this card. It's very quick and easy for me to transfer money to my kids and it even teaches them how to save and be responsible. Thanks Current.”

“Love this app! Great for anyone with kids. You can keep track of their spending and set up where they can and can not use their card.”

“Current has been an essential tool in teaching my teen financial responsibility. Having a debit card that 1. Doesn’t fall into overdraft; and 2. Gives him the freedom to make his own choices has been invaluable.”

“This is helping my teen learn the value of money and budgeting. It is also wonderful to know when he is on school trips away from me that I can quickly transfer money to his card within minutes if something unexpected comes up and not have to give him a bunch of what-if cash.”

“I’m loving this. It is teaching my 16-year-old responsibilities and is teaching her how to do chores.”
