You might have heard that Pockit offers our higher limit card holders additional cards linked to their main account. This is a quick guide for those of you that are unsure about what an additional card is, and how it can be used! If you still need to upgrade your Pockit account don’t worry, keep reading to find out how you too can benefit from up to three additional cards.

Additional cards are more than just another Pockit account. For a start, anyone over the age of 13 is able to have an additional card! This makes them the perfect solution for those who want to allow their children the freedom to spend that a debit account allows but without the ability to go overdrawn and with more control over their spending.

But, just like your main Pockit card, additional cards will arrive within 3-5 days and have their own separate pin, as well as a separate card, from the main cardholder. What’s more, these cards can be used in all the same places and share all the same benefits as your main Pockit card including earning cashback at all 25 of our top cashback retailers!

To give you more choice and control over your money Pockit offers two types of additional cardholder accounts: 

Shared balance- the money on your Pockit account will be equally distributed between you and your additional cardholders. 

Separate balance- you can control what money is available to additional cardholders and this allows the additional cardholder to manage their balance completely separately.

Getting additional cards couldn’t be simpler; the 99p for the card is taken straight off your account balance.

After listening to what our customers need from their Pockit cards, we are really excited to announce that separate balances are coming very soon to your additional cards!

Additional cardholders can only currently share a balance with the primary user of the account, which means that all cardholders only have access to the same pool of funds. 

However, separate balance technology allows you to decide whether you would like to allocate funds to each additional cardholder on your account so that they only have access to the money they have been allocated. This makes it even easier and more efficient to manage yours and your additional cardholder’s money.

Keep a look out over the next couple of weeks for this brand new feature on your Pockit account, and let us know what you think!

It’s due to our customers getting in touch with us that we are able to make improvements like this to your Pockit card so that it works for you!

More flexibility = better money management :)
