The story

Halima’s dad has a debit card from his bank. When he pays with it, the money comes straight out of his bank account.

The big idea

A card is like a key to a bank account. Keep it in sight when you pay, and never keep the PIN with the card.

Ask at home

Show your child how you keep your bank card and PIN safe when you pay.

The full lesson, with its questions and Kesho Stars, is in the myKesho kids app.
