UKNM: Splash debit card for under 18s

[Jason Lloyd]

Can I just ask a quick question to all you UKNM types? Today there has

been a lot of media coverage about the new Splash card: a debit card for

the under 18's, specially created to make it friendly for online

purchases. Parents can also access a special site and see exactly what

their little johnny is buying, and also put any limit on the card too.  


Investment banks are said to be backing it to the tune of $6 billion.

With other similar cards on the horizon soon,(visabuxx), what do UKNM

think of the implications of this new card for kids, and more

importantly, the UK online economy?
