Starling make it real for my kids to get their first banking experience with their own cards and real life financial planning. Need to have options now a day, to practically teach kids to properly handle their money. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Excellent way to start educating kids about saving and spending

We signed our two kids up for kite cards ahead of our trip to florida last year so that they could each be in control of their spending money. It worked great and they really developed their sense of responsibility and money management by being able to see what they had spent and what they had left in the app in real time.
