Starling made opening an account for kids much easier than the traditional banks. In addition the app provides excellent control and ability to monitor activity. When we had a minor issue (card fraud) Starling was fantastic. Thoroughly reccomend. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Your money is safe with Starling!

5
I have lost my card and had money spent fraudulently and Starling Bank acted fast to secure my account and issue me not only a refund for these illegal purchases but also a new bank card. We also travel a lot and use the card regularly abroad including cash withdrawals and do not get any charges this makes being away so much more enjoyable without the fear of being charged and not having money. It is also so much easier for my young teenage child to have a bank card so that he can have financial independence and also learn so much more about how to budget and be smart with his money at no extra charge.
