ahead of introducing a new fee in DAYS. Hyperjar is a free money management app and prepaid debit Mastercard designed for both adults and children aged six and above.
HyperJar will soon begin charging a £3 monthly fee to customers who have not used their account for more than 12 months. It warned customers in an email: "It costs money to maintain a
HyperJar account and so it doesn’t make sense for either us or our customers if it’s not being used and enjoyed.
"We want to encourage everyone to use HyperJar regularly for budgeting, reaching their financial goals, and making their money go further." HyperJar will automatically deduct the fee from
your balance if your account remains inactive for 12 months or longer.

It will begin charging inactive customers from June 3, it added. If you haven't used your HyperJar account in a while, but want to keep it, you can avoid the fee by sending money to, or
receive money from, another bank or HyperJar account.
You can also move money within your HyperJar account from one 'jar' to another, or buy something using your HyperJar card.
You can also buy a 'Cashback Voucher' or 'HyperVoucher' (these are gift cards for various retailers available through the HyperJar app).
You'll need to keep using your account to avoid being charged going forward, as the inactivity fee will kick in if you don't do any of the above within a 12-month period.

ditch or switch."
Go to the 'Profile' tab in the app, select 'Profile & Security', and then 'Close Account'.
