Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

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.

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

Great kids card

I was skeptical at first but it's brilliant my daughter feels grown up and is able to use the app on her own phone and is very good at using her own cash card. I like that it's part of my bank account and very easy to use Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
