Amazing

Very useful for my child, he use it when he started to go to secondary school Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

The perfect solution for monitoring a child's spending

I needed a card for my child to pay for his bus ticket to school and back. I didn't want to transfer money to his bank account because he could spend it in shops etc. The Kite card is perfect. He can use it like a debit card, I get a notification when he spends money, and I can top it up as needed. For me it turned out to be the perfect solution. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
