Kite success

Kite great easy and practical way to put money aside for holidays ,new car or just anything, love it has help me save Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

Easy Banking with simple controls

it was very easy to set up the account for my kids. Plenty of controls to make sure things dont go wrong. All done on a phone app instantly. Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

Allows parents to have control and simple but effective security features.

I like how easy the app is to use from setting up to creating spaces and connecting KITE. Contacting Starling and speaking to an actual agent when needed is welcoming and just easy. Depositing checks via the app allows for good time management. However, depositing cash via postoffice is simple and quick but the effort to find time to visit a postoffice to find parking etc, The only downside I have found. Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

Top easy banking

Easy for the kids to understand and use. Restrictions stop them purchasing inappropriate items. Easy replacement cards when lost and notifications when they spend. I can’t recommend Starling enough all for at least half the price of competitors. Reviewed on: 19th March 2023

Great Bank

Does everything well without any fuss. The Kids love it and they can see their own account balance and spending. Teaching them about the value of money. If they did charity / community accounts I have several more accounts with Starling. Reviewed on: 19th March 2023
