The app is very easy to use and it is good having all our accounts in one place. I have two children and we were previously using another kids banking app that charged a monthly fee for each child and a fee for me topping up parents account. Kids are happy as I have passed this saving onto them. Reviewed on: 29th April 2024

Reply from Starling Bank No fees here Neil! We're glad that this has been beneficial for you & extra money for the kids? win, win! Team Starling Response date: 4th May 2024

Perfect for my kids to learn

Phone support has always been relatively quick - a vast difference between them and any other provider. Kite mobile works great and is simple to use. Instant notification every time one of my kids using their card. Reviewed on: 27th April 2024

The kite account is amazing!

The kite account is amazing! My 6 year old loves that he can use his own card but I love that I can have full control of his spending via my app. He can access his balance from him phone too which is really good! Reviewed on: 22nd April 2024
