So easy and great support

I have been using Starling and persuaded friends to join. It is wonderful for me to be able to help my grandchildren with a Kite account. It is so easy and I am able to see what is going on in the account and the Kite link makes it easy to pass on the details. It is very good value at £2 a month compared to our previous 'Kids' Card' Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Awesome

Moving to Starling Bank is one of my better decisions. The kite card for kids is fab and costs way less than other banks, with the added bonus of friends and family able to pay straight into the kite account, which is Ideal for Birthdays, Christmas, and even treats for the younger members to be able to learn how to manage their finances. Well done Starling ! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
