1 Costs & plan model
10/20
Points
Pockid offers two subscription models: Neo Beginner (€2.99/month) and Neo Pro (€6.99/month). With annual payment there is a discount. There is no free plan.
Scoring (10/20): Not free. Prices are comparable to Bling, but without a free basic plan.
2 Cards & acceptance
8/15
Points
The debit Mastercard works worldwide at all Mastercard acceptance points. Contactless payment is possible. No IBAN of its own – the account is a pure prepaid solution.
Scoring (8/15): Good Mastercard acceptance, but no IBAN and no confirmed Apple/Google Pay integration.
3 Financial education & pedagogy
6/15
Points
Pockid offers spending analysis and a clear app. There are no explicit task systems or gamification, but the peer-to-peer function encourages independent financial management.
Scoring (6/15): Basic financial tools, but no gamification or task systems.
4 App & usability
9/15
Points
The Pockid app offers an account overview, spending analysis and peer-to-peer payments. The design is modern and suited to young people. Parents have digital access to account management with real-time top-ups.
Scoring (9/15): An appealing app for teenagers. No separate parent and child apps, and the App Store rating is below the level of Revolut.
5 Security & parental controls
8/15
Points
Credit-balance basis – no overdraft possible. Parents have real-time top-ups and can block the card. However: Pockid has no banking licence of its own and no BaFin regulation.
Scoring (8/15): Credit-balance basis and parental access are positives. Missing BaFin regulation and more limited control functions compared with Bling or Revolut.
6 Cash & payments
4/10
Points
Cash withdrawals are possible at Mastercard ATMs, but chargeable. No IBAN of its own for incoming transfers.
Scoring (4/10): Basic cash function, but chargeable and without IBAN support.
7 Customer service
2/5
Points
Email support and FAQ section. No telephone support, no live chat. As a small start-up, service capacity is limited.
Scoring (2/5): Email support only, no direct availability.
8 Extras & special features
3/5
Points
The card with a wood look is a nice design feature. Peer-to-peer payments between Pockid users. Otherwise few extras.
Scoring (3/5): Wood card and P2P as differentiators. Overall, though, few extras.

Satisfactory (3.5)
Pockid scores 60 out of 100 points and is a solid fintech offering for teenagers who want their own debit card with a modern app. The wood card and P2P payments are nice extras. However: without a free plan, without an IBAN and without BaFin regulation, it falls behind the competition from DKB, comdirect and Revolut.
