Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Fantastic free resource

It's been fantastic to provide my son with a chance to see his own money from chores at just 6 years old. He's so excited to have his own debit card! It would be even nicer if he could earn a little interest. And also assign his chores in the app. But it's free so that's the main draw! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

It started by switching my main account to Starling.

Switched to Starling for main account. Created 2 x spaces for kids, and once made free, turned them into Kite spaces, with debit cards and separate app so they can track their own money, and spend themselves. They’re way more engaged with their money, and the costs of stuff, as a result. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Very easy to set up

Very easy to set up, card arrived a few days later and my 6 year old son very happy. Brilliant that it does not have a monthly fee like some other kids accounts. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
