Chase First Banking

Chase First Banking provides a debit card for children ages 6 to 17, available to existing Chase customers. Parents can set daily spending limits, block certain merchant categories like gambling or adult sites, and receive push alerts every time the card is used. The account integrates with Chase's banking app, so both parent and child see transactions from the same interface.

This option works well for families already using Chase and wanting basic spending controls tied to a familiar bank. It's simpler than standalone budgeting apps but carries the security and brand recognition of a major financial institution, which some parents prefer for their children's first debit experience.
