Straight forward banking

It’s incredibly easy to manage my sons bank account through my own. The ability to share direct payment information with friends and family is a big help. As is being able to manage payment limits in real time Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Great 1st account for kids

Loved the fact my daughter could have her financial freedom by I was still linked to help her if needed Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Building good financial habits

My kids know exactly how much money they have to spend, and stick within their balance. Saves me a fortune in odd fivers here and there - they’re much more choosy about what their money is spent on than they were with my money Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Excellent space for kids

Our son loves the access to his account he gets through the app and it’s reassuring for us as parents Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Great tool to teach about spending...

I can keep track of my children's spending and have conversations about it, giving them the chance to understand about values, savings and making them financially savvy early on in life. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Excellent

Kite is fantastic. Easy to put money in, easy to track spending and easy (on the rare occasions it happens!) to transfer money out. Helps with my child’s budgeting and saving. I also love the very easy admin-type features, like limits at cash machines, pin reminder, lock the card when you think it’s lost… Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Very straightforward to use

Great system with good controls. Will use for our younger child too. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
