Issue a card to your teen, load it with their 'pocket money' or weekly allowance and they can use their own card to purchase goods online (internet shopping), withdraw cash as they need it from any ATM, or use it to purchase goods from any shop that displays the MasterCard logo. You can therefore assist younger family members to learn about managing their money as they can only spend the amount that is loaded by you onto their card. You are in total control and their spending can be monitored by you in real time, 24/7, either online or remotely by SMS.
