Starling Bank - an excellent choice

Starling Bank - an excellent choice! Really easy to use, the app is really clear and gives immediate notifications. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

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

Good value and really simple to use

Brilliant to integrate the kids money with my starling account. Works seamlessly and instantly. The kids love seeing their balance and the impact of spending on their savings. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

What more could you want?

My daughter has been using her kite account for nearly 2 years now. She has even used it in different countries. It's so easy to use, we as parents can keep and eye on her spending with approval limits but most of all it gives her freedom. It's nice knowing she has money that she can access when she needs it but does t have to carry cash which she could lose. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
