Supporting your child

Learning to manage money is a big step for children. Fortunately, you’re there to help them make wise choices and become more independent:

Set limits for their Junior Visa Debit card, BCV TWINT app, and accounts.
Keep an eye on their spending using your BCV-net and BCV Mobile login or by getting their account statements and transaction advices sent to you.
For added security, they can make online payments only after the feature has been activated on their BCV Mobile app. That way, you can talk to your child in advance about what they need and how they can shop online wisely.
For your child’s safety, payments are blocked on certain websites (online betting and gambling, tobacco sales, and adult content).

Advice and support

How to talk to your child about money

“Mom, Dad...

... what does it mean to be rich or poor?”
... how does a credit card work?”
... why do people save money?”

As a parent, you’re used to your child’s seemingly endless supply of questions.
So that you can have the right answers when they ask about money, the Association of Swiss Cantonal Banks has created a useful website: jeunesetbudget.ch (in French, German, and Italian).

There, you can find answers to questions you and your child may have about managing a budget along with advice and simple, clear explanations of financial terms.
