Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3120)

Great for separated Dads.

A space I control for my kids.I can see and send money to him and if he wants a game or anything he’s empowered to save. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Can see what my child spends

Great banking, the ability to see what my child spends and set limits is great…. Even better if it didn’t come with a monthly fee. There is no interest earning potential, so why have a fee on a child’s account . Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Simple and effective

Kite is a great service. It allows me the control I need whilst giving my children the freedom they need to learn how to navigate the financial aspects of the world Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Kite

We set up a starling account to use in USA, didn’t realise at the time they done the kite card for children. Ordered one for my 8 year old, she loved learning to use a card, it looks very similar to mine so she felt grown up. I am able to manage how much money is in the ‘space’ and put pocket money etc directly into it - no one wants cash anymore. Love the new function that we can send a link to family if they want to give money for birthdays and trips etc. So far very happy with it. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Love it

My son loves the fact he has his own card to use. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Easy to use account

Extremely easy to use account. Fees much cheaper than other similar accounts I tried. Great way to help children learn about money and budgeting whilst also allowing easy transfers to and from the parent account. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

BEST ACCOUNT IVE USED

COULDNT GET BETTTER HIGHLY RECOMMED Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Brilliant card for kids

The card is connected to parents account and you can easily monitor your kids spending. It gives you a live update if the card has been used. You can set a spending cap per transaction and block online purchasing. Basically a great card for children who is starting to learn about money handling while parents guide them. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Just so easy for kids on the move

Love starling spaces for kids. My son wants to top up his zip card - transfer from my desk in the office. He’s out with his friends - I can see what he spends. It’s just so easy I don’t know how we did it before! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Safe, easy to use and controllable

The best children’s card service on the market, backed with an A* customer service that you can speak to when required without having to press # and * a hundred times Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
