Our verdict
GoHenry USA is a Visa debit card built for kids, and the $8 monthly fee is the trade-off to weigh. Families happy to pay that for a child-focused card get a debit card on the Visa network and help through email, phone and help centre, while cost-first readers should look at the free alternatives.
