Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Best kids account

Starling has to be the best bank I've ever used for keeping in control of your spending and being financially in control. Their kids account allows your child to begin controlling their spending with notifications to you every time the child uses their account. It's helped my child understand the value of money for the last 6 months. Keep up the good work Starling - You should be proud!! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Free account for kids!

Its a free account for kids - previously we paid a monthly fee with GoHenry. It’s a space within my account so grandparents can’t pay directly into it which is a downside but overall great! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
