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
