Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

View on product page

Brilliant banking for kids

We have two kite cards on our joint account for our daughters, which means both my husband and I can manage the 'spaces'. We have set up a pocket money standing order, but when the kids need to repay me for something it's easy to transfer back. They get a contactless payment card but can only spend what they have, and you can set either daily limits or maximum transaction amounts, although we haven't done this. They can have an app on their phone to check their balance (although for some reason this doesn't work on one of my daughter's phones). I love that I get a notification every time they spend money with the store name and amount, so I know exactly what they're up to. It works really well for us, can't fault it at all. One of my daughters went on a school trip to Spain and she could even use her card there, at the standard exchange rate. It's just a small monthly cost, no rip off hidden fees, feels like good value.

Review of the Policy Expert, Car insurance:

Brilliant customer service

Having shopped around for the cheapest car insurance every year, I have come not to expect gold standard service, but policy expert completely wowed me. It was easy to get through to their UK call centre where their extremely helpful staff sorted out admin problems on two separate occasions (which were not their fault) and waive the charges. And they were one of the cheapest. Reviewed on: 16th September 2022

Review of the Triodos Bank, Current Account:

Easy to set up, good for the conscience

I am only a recent customer, I wanted to move my money away from fossil fuel-supporting banks. It was really easy to set up and get an overdraft approved, and so far all transactions have been frictionless. And nice to know that I am not supporting unethical practises.
