Most common questions about this account
What happens to the account when the holder turns 18?
The conditions of accounts intended for customers as of that age will apply, which will be communicated to the holder with the advance notice established in the contract. Furthermore, from that moment on, the participation of the Legal Representative in the contract is no longer necessary.
Who should appear as a representative?
The legal representative, this is the parents, who exercise parental authority over the minor, or the court appointed legal guardian.
As it a prepaid card, can you see balances and movements?
The movements of the Prepaid Mini Card can be consulted free of charge at Santander ATMs with the card's PIN and using Banco Santander Online Banking, the Santander App and Wallet.
What are the maximum and minimum amounts that can be loaded on the prepaid card?
The minimum amount is € 6, while the maximum limit allowed on the card is € 900.
How do you transfer and top up the balance of the Prepaid Mini Card?
Via Online Banking and the Santander App for your convenience. And you can also do it in any branch, Santander ATM or by Telephone Banking.
Can the legal representatives of the minor have access to the account if they do not appear as representatives in the account?
The minor's legal representative may have access to the account by proving, if they have not already done so, their status as representative. The ‘family book’ is used as evidence when the legal representative is the father or mother. If the legal representative is not the father or the mother but a guardian, the latter must present the relevant documentary evidence.
Can emancipated minors open the account?
Emancipated minors cannot open the account.
Does the account admit direct debits? And overdrafts?
The account does allow direct debits, but does not admit any type of overdraft or debit positions as the owner is a minor.
¿La cuenta tiene libreta?
La cuenta no tiene libreta.
¿Si pierdes la Tarjeta Prepago Mini pierdes el saldo?
No, ya que el saldo reside en el contrato, no en la tarjeta. Si la pierdes, solicita una nueva y el saldo será el mismo que tenías en la anterior.
La contratación de la tarjeta prepago no es obligatoria, pero ¿y si no la contratas y luego te arrepientes?
Si no la solicitas en el momento de la contratación de la cuenta, lo puedes hacer en cualquier momento posterior.
¿Puede cargar la Tarjeta Prepago Mini alguien que no sea el representante legal?
Cualquier persona cliente del Banco desde la Banca Online y la App Santander, seleccionando la opción Recarga tarjetas prepago de otros titulares.
¿Se puede anular la tarjeta?
Se puede cancelar, pero previamente hay que traspasar el saldo de la tarjeta a la cuenta (si lo hubiera).
