So simple to use with the ability to set limits and see what your child is spending and where. My daughter loves the independence and the grown up feeling she has when using her card. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Fly with kite

This is such a great app. So easy to use for parent and child and great to keep tabs on what money is being spent on. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Perfect for my son!

Easy & safe banking for my 12 year old who wants to be more independent. He feels grown up with his own card & ability to view his balance on his app...highly recommend! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Quick, easy, convenient

We are able to add money to our child's space, see when they spend as they spend, and give our child the responsibility of a card which they use on the school bus or shopping with friends. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Great affordable childrens account

Kite children's account isn't free but for £2 a month it gives a debit card, great parent control features, a link to send to friends and family so they can add money, and an app for the child to monitor their own spending. I opened an adult Starling account just so my child could have access to Kite, and now I have been converted by usability and friendliness of their app. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Easy for kids to manage their money but us adults to keep an eye on

Easy to use and user friendly. Allows kids to manage their own savings. I can increase or decrease their limit and watch their habits Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
