TL;DRGoogle Wallet now supports supervised balances for kids and teens under 18 in the US, giving them a way to make digital payments with parental oversight.Parents can set daily spending limits, view transaction history, receive Family Link purchase alerts, and remotely lock the Wallet if a device is lost.Kids can tap to pay using their Android phone or Wear OS smartwatch anywhere Google Pay is accepted.Giving kids money has always involved a bit of trust. Maybe it’s cash for a weekend outing, a card for an emergency, or money to grab something while they’re out with friends. The problem is that cash is easy to lose, cards can go missing, and it’s not always obvious where the money ended up. That’s exactly the problem Google Wallet is now trying to solve.The company is rolling out supervised Google Wallet balances for children and teenagers under 18 in the US. Instead of handing your child a debit card and simply hoping they spend responsibly, you’ll be able to decide how much money they have access to while still keeping an eye on where it’s going. It’s a much more practical way to let kids start managing their own money without throwing them in at the deep end.
