Super Starling

Easy to use Simple in design Meets all requirements Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Perfect

My daughter loves her Kite account. It teaches her the value of money - so much so she’s not spending it on (plastic) rubbish - in fact she’s not spending it at all, she likes watching it grow. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Excellent online bank, very user friendly

I use Starling to manage my day-to-day spending, and for my daughter to manage her pocket money. I love the saving spaces on the adult account, they help keep me on track. The kite account is excellent, my daughter’s pocket money is paid in automatically, once a month, and then she can choose to spend or save. I get notified each time she spends money, and either of us can see what she has left and what has gone in and out of the account. She loves having a grown up bank card, and it’s so much easier than finding cash to give her. It’s also reassuring that I can block it remotely, or send extra money if needed. I’ve recommended Starling to everyone. Fab current account for me, and excellent child card too. Love it. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023
