Kite card spot on fir on the spot shopping for my little one

My 9 year old is just venturing out into the world. She loves earning a bit of cash and then going shopping to buy little treats for herself and her friends and family! I know almost instantly when she uses her Kite card and the Starling app makes it so easy to keep an eye on limits and options for usage. The direct link to pay into her saving space was very, very useful for her birthday and Christmas and my house has never been cleaner! Thank you Starling! Reviewed on: 23rd March 2023

We love the kite account for kids. Its so easy for the kids to use their debit cards online or in store. They love it. It gives them a sense of responsibility and the ability to manage their own money. I can top up or freeze the card instantly, which makes it amazingly convenient Reviewed on: 22nd March 2023
