Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Encouraging independence

I am a firm believer in encouraging independence where possible. My daughter age 10 has her own front door key, her own phone (with family and her school friends only on it), and now a Kite card. It gives her responsibility for her own money, and she knows she has to budget if she wants to buy a few things, for example at Christmas, and it has vastly brought her up to speed with mental arithmetic! These are critical life skills that shouldn't be underestimated. She is proud to have her own bank card, and traders are amazed at her maturity. She is the first of her peer group to have access to her own money, and I am delighted that Kite exists! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
