Excellent

Very good happy with kite from starling Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to use.

Easy to use with parental control. They (kids) feel grown up as they have a card. You still are in control of spending allowance though. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Starling Bank - an excellent choice

Brilliant service

I love how transparent, easy to use and with parental access this account is. A game changer that builds money-wise confidence in my child. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best bank I been ever with

Starling Bank covers all my needs and sometimes even more. Every time Starling Bank offers a new product it is something that I never thought of but is very useful, like for example Kite card. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Independants Kids...

My 7 year old son loves his Kite account, especially having a card just like mummy! He can buy his own things with his card and each week we look at the money in his pot and before and after I transfer his pocket money! I love the ability to monitor and when needed, control his spending. Also great that friends and family can easily pay money in for birthday and Christmas. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Good

Starling Bank provides a good app for both parent and child. It allows me to be confident in the money management between myself and my child and the shops. I am especially glad that i can block online shopping. Also the notifications are great in real time. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Super easy

It’s been great to introduce my 8 year old daughter to her own bank account and card - very easy to set up, she feels empowered yet I still have oversight as parent. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Stay in control, check spending whilst giving them access to a card

A great service with value for money for my two kids. They get a card which I can control and see what and where they have spent in real time. They get what is effectively their own account and I get perform transactions for them and add notes as reminders. They get their own app on their phones - what more could you ask for? Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great for kids

Fab easy to use account. App is great. Card is a nice card. My daughter loves it. Also have to mention the notifications to us parents when the kids buy anything. Keeps us informed at all times. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
