Most parents want to encourage their children to save money and now a bank is offering incentives to do just that.
The new Metro Bank has opened in Manchester Arndale and is giving prizes to kids who save up.
Youngsters can use a Magic Money Machine - a free coin counting facility - and if they're close to guessing the amount they've saved, they'll get a prize.
These change each month but include the likes of pencil cases, highlighter pens and pencils.
If the young saver uses the Magic Money Machine at least once a month for five months then they'll also get £5 added to their bank account.
It's part of the bank's 5 for 5 club kids account at the bank, which also runs a free financial education programme for local schools and youth groups in key stages 2 and 3.
The Arndale site is the first branch in the north west for Metro.
It differentiates itself from traditional high street banks by offering extended opening hours, instant debit card printing and pet-friendly branches.
A spokeswoman said: "Kids can get prizes for using the Magic Money Machine if they play the animation game on the machine.
"This is where they guess what the value of their coins total up to and if they are within £1 they win a prize.
"Prizes for this change each month so for regular users they get a variety of prizes over time."
