Got this for my 15yr old daughter about a year ago. It really teachers her the value of how and what she is spending her money on. I love that I can keep an eye on her spending too. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Kids banking made effortless

Kite is perfect for any child, they are able to track their own spending habits on their phone, transferring money to their account is as simple as putting money away into a space (something which most starling users do often) and it only costs £2 a month. Being able to see when your child has spent money is super useful too! Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
