No idea about Australia, but in Estonia (and I suppose most of the Europe?) children can get a debit card without much hassle. Maybe we could give them dedicated BIN numbers so that you could check for age this way, but I think it’s not worth the hassle.

- notpushkin 2y agoFair point :^) I’ve decided to look it up, and it’s a mixed bag: in the EU, there’s 6 cointries where minors can open a debit card (the age requirement is as low as six in Slovakia or seven in Latvia). Then there’s another 11 countries with no minimum age at all – though they do require parents’ consent. https://fra.europa.eu/en/publication/2017/mapping-minimum-age-requirements-concerning-rights-child-eu/issuance-credit-card https://fra.europa.eu/en/publication/2017/mapping-minimum-ag...
