Tell him to get a paper round or a part time job in the local newsagents or supermarket stacking shelves.
It will teach him to value the money he earnt by himself.
I went and got a paperround when i was 14, i was doing a round in the morning before school and one after school, i did that for 2 years and only £14 a week! After about a year the customers liked me as i got there papers to them without fail even during thunderstorms and snow. They would give me tips at christmas i made about £80 on the morning round!
Tell him to get a job it will set him up for life ahead and he wont become one of those kids that hang around in gangs late at night.

I presume out of your question that your mom does not have already got a economic organisation a/c. That being the case, she will have the skill to require some sort of identity to open one and pay in the cheque. If, on the different hand, she does have already got a economic organisation account there could be no problem, however the economic organisation might ask some habitual questions if the quantity in question is abnormally great,say various hundred thousand kilos.

He is 16, why should you be putting anything into his bank account...!
When I was 16, I got myself a ladder and went window cleaning until my date to join the Royal Air Force.
What happened in the past 20 years to make kids reliant on their parents for support, after they were old enough to earn money themselves..!
I'm genuinely stunned at this revelation..!

I think £40 is plenty - he is allowed to work a saturday job now, so tell him get a job and pay his own way now that he's old enough - teach him the value of money now.

At 16 he should be earning his own money. Tell him to get a part time job to really teach him the value of money, rather than just handing it to him.

don't encourage him what does he do for the £40??if he's still at school or going to college he should get educational maintenance allowance also he can get a part-time job to earn money as well

None--let him work for it--otherwise when they get older, they will not realise the value of going out and working for their own money, and will want everything handed to them on a plate--which is not how things happen! Go back to the 70's style of doing things...after all--'it never did us any harm'!

That's more than enough. If he needs more money than that, then it is time for him to get a job. You need to have him write every single thing down that he spends his money, then you will need to show him how to set up a budget. He is not too young to handle his money carefully.

Geez.. at 16 me, my brother and my sister were working and earning our own pocket money.
I think it is plenty. If he wants more tell him he should get a job. Time to learn some responsibility
