If you are ready to get a card for your child, the signup process is very straightforward.  Before you dive in, confirm that you are at least 18 years old, a US citizen or legal resident, have a U.S. phone number, and have a U.S. bank account. You’ll need to meet all of those points to be eligible for sign up. Come prepared with your date of birth, your Social Security Number, and your child’s date of birth for a smooth process.  You’ll need to download the BusyKid app. Then provide some basic information such as your name, email, and zip code. From there, you’ll create a password for your account and select a pin.  Once the account is set up, you’ll be able to fund the account with your bank account or credit card to finalize the process.
