As a Starling customer I was very pleased when they introduced Kite. It’s simple to use, allows my son freedom but always with me in control. Starling are receptive to suggestions for improvements. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy and convenient to manage your money

The savings pots make it so easy to budget and the children’s Kite card are cheaper than competitors and a good introduction to finances for them. It would be helpful if they could make saving pots too. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Perfect banking

So straight forward to open Kite Children’s account for our daughter, contactless card (which she loves) came quickly and the app for her to use is so simple. We can instantly add funds and have instant notifications for all transactions. Easy for friends and family to add funds and the cheapest fee on the market. Very impressed Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

I switched to Starling bank and I don't regret it. Instant money transfers without any fees. The kids' option KITE is an excellent opportunity to teach you kids budgeting their own pocket money. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
