Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Very happy with kite account

Very easy to open the kite account for my daughter. Very easy to add money and keep a track of it in the starling app. Other family members can add money to account directly. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Excellent

Customer service is always excellent and the app is brilliantly easy to use and helpful. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Amazing for kids

My 9 year old daughter loves that she can have her own bank card and own app to see her savings. I love that there is no hidden costs with this like other companys. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Excellent account.

Straight forward to use and a great way to introduce kids to saving Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Easy transparent banking for children

I love my starling account and have both my children set up with kite debit card accounts. They have the freedom to spend when they want but I have the control, daily limits, maximum spends and they get to see the transactions in a clear informative way when looking at their spaces on the app. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Easy and ethical banking

I find Starling truly unique – easy to use with no hidden costs. The Kite account for my daughter is really useful. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Best account for kids

I absolutely love the Kite children's account. My son adores his card and the freedom it allows. So much safer than cash. Having his account as a space without my own account is brilliant and makes managing his funds super easy. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Great financial product

Great customer service with Real Humans available if needed Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Very easy to use

Like the notifications too. Very useful when I need to do an emergency "top-up"!) Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Best children card provider

Easy to set up in minutes. Just can keep track of my child spending and to add more funds with a click if needed. Best child card provider in my eyes Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
