Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Excellent

Its so easy to set up. It means I can see how much my child I'd spending and on what. With my child having a debit card it's teaching her money management without her realising. Excellent service aswell all for £2 a month its a bargain Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Great banking experience

We have 2 children and wanted to open bank accounts for them, but we wanted to be able to control how our children spent/saved their money. With Starling it was so easy to set accounts up and just as easy to manage through the banking app. Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

Loving Kite

Kite has given me the ability to let our kids start their banking life Reviewed on: 18th March 2023

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
