From Pocket Money to Pedals: Saving with NatWest Rooster Money

This is a paid for advertisement feature. 

At Bikeability, we’re passionate about helping children develop essential life skills that go far beyond cycling. From building confidence on the road to fostering independence and responsibility, our training equips kids with tools for life. But what if these same values could be encouraged at home in a fun and interactive way? Enter NatWest Rooster Money! 

The Rooster Card* is a pre-paid debit card and pocket money app with innovative tools—including Chore Management, flexible parental controls and instant top ups, to help kids grow positive money habits and be a little more money confident. Like Bikeability training, they provide the perfect toolkit for preparing children for life, whether on the saddle or beyond.  

*Parent/guardian must be 18+ and UK resident. Card for ages 6-17. Subscription fees apply via auto renewal after first month’s trial has ended. Usually £1.99 a month or £19.99 a year. Other fees may apply. T&Cs apply.  

Chore Management: Responsibility with a purpose

Caring for your cycle requires responsibility—whether it’s cleaning, checking tyres, or making sure lights and brakes are working. Set chores that teach them to earn with Rooster Money’s Chore tracking tool, available as part of Rooster Card subscription. This helps make responsibilities fun and rewarding by tying tasks to earning opportunities. 

Parents can assign chores related to cycle maintenance or other household tasks, teaching children the importance of hard work and care. With their earnings, kids can save for cycling treats, safety gear, or their next adventure, giving them a tangible connection between effort and reward.  

Virtual Pocket Money Tracker: Navigating life’s roads, financially and otherwise

The Rooster Money Virtual Pocket Money Tracker is available for free in the Rooster Money app, for kids aged 3+. It helps children start to understand the value of money by enabling them to set up savings pots, track spending, and budget for their goals. 

Much like Bikeability teaches children to assess risks and plan their cycling routes, this feature encourages kids to think critically about their financial choices. Whether they’re saving for a dream cycle, some new cycling gear, or even a family cycling adventure, the Virtual Pocket Money Tracker fosters smart money habits in a way that’s fun and engaging. 

Confidence, independence, and lifelong skills

Bikeability and NatWest Rooster Money share a common mission: helping children develop confidence and independence. Whether it’s cycling safely or managing their finances, these skills empower kids to navigate life with greater ease and self-assurance. 

With the Rooster Card, kids can take their learning to the next level by managing real money whilst safeguarding their spending with limits and alerts. They’ll learn to budget, save, and track their spending—all while building essential skills for life. 

Start saving for cycling adventures with Rooster Money!

At Bikeability, we believe that life skills learned while cycling should extend to every aspect of a child’s development. Rooster Money’s tools complement our training perfectly, helping children take a little more action to become responsible, independent, and goal-oriented. 

Ready to set your child on the path to success, both on and off their cycle? Explore the benefits of the Rooster Card today and help them save for their dreams—whether it’s a dream cycle, essential gear, or an exciting family adventure. Learn more about Rooster Money here.
