Excellent online friendly family bank

Been using starling for a couple of years now. So easy to set up and to use the banking app. Both children have kites card. Plus i advised my brother in law to use starling bankvfor him and his children. Really good bank user friendly and no problems. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

I love that this is a FREE account for children.

I love that this is a FREE account for children like it used to be when we were children. I think when you start charging for children's accounts it deters parents from letting children have one, therefore how do we teach them to save their money, spend their money wisely and safely. This is a great step forward by Starling Bank, well done for not think of your pocket first! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Thank you for being brilliant (and free!)

Having twins, it’s so helpful to be able to have two free Kite spaces for them. Bus fare and snack money is sorted! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Starling bank is the best bank by far.

Starling bank is the best bank by far. Kite is easy to use and great to teach children about money. I like that I can monitor the account from my app but also that my children can log into their banks from the app also. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
