Ameriabank Launches “Star” Digital Debit Card for Kids: What You Need to Know

Ameriabank has introduced the new “Star” debit card, a digital Visa Classic designed specifically for children aged 6 to 18. The card is issued free of charge, valid for 4 years, and serves as a child’s first step toward financial literacy.

The Star card is a modern and secure tool that allows children to manage money under full parental control. Parents who are existing Ameriabank clients can issue the card in just a few minutes via the MyAmeria mobile app.

Who Can Apply

1. Only existing Ameriabank clients (parents or legal guardians).
2. The card is available exclusively to RA citizens.
3. Parents can open the account directly through the MyAmeria app, where the child’s card is linked to the parent’s profile for easy monitoring.

“Star” Card Conditions

How It Works

Once the card is issued, a dedicated account is created in the child’s name. They can make payments, transfers, and withdraw cash — up to a 20,000 AMD daily limit on outgoing transactions, with no restrictions on incoming funds.

All transactions are instantly visible in the parent’s app, with push or SMS notifications for real-time tracking.

Cash can be withdrawn at ATMs using a secure one-time code, generated in the app. The absence of a physical card makes it more secure and convenient.

Why It Matters

The Star card helps:

1. Instill financial responsibility from a young age
2. Allow parents to safely send money for everyday use
3. Keep parents informed with instant spending alerts
4. Create a child’s first banking history
