Welcome to the Finder Kids’ Cards Customer Satisfaction Awards 2022
Who better to tell us who should win a customer satisfaction award then customers themselves? We asked the customers of kids’ prepaid card providers to tell us about their experiences, and now we can reveal how they rated the brands in this field.
The winners are based on both overall satisfaction scores (star ratings) and recommendation scores (the percentage of customers who said they’d recommend the brand to a friend). You can read more on our methodology below.
The winners

Customer satisfaction ratings methodology
Our independent survey of 526 kids’ card customers was carried out in December 2021. We asked adults who have a prepaid card for their child to rate their satisfaction (on a scale of one to five) with the service they had received from their provider, and also whether they would recommend that provider to a friend.
We crunched the numbers and used these star ratings to decide the winners of our awards (if there was a draw on the star ratings score, we then used the “would recommend” percentage as a tie-breaker).
