Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

So easy to use

We use Starling since 3 years and our kids have each a space/account within our account with their own money and card. We have full access and see everything they do. So easy to use. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great children's account, easy for the parents or guardian to follow. Good learning tool for a child to understand money and banking. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

I have absolutely nothing to complain about so yeah-great service, easy to set up etc! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

kid loves it

its so easy to use and top up for our little one Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great account for even the youngest of children

Very easy to use, family are able to pay birthday money etc directly into the children's account and you are also able to get a debit card for the child as they get older to give them some indepndance with their money. I've tried other accounts over the years but this is by far the best. Great customer serivce too Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great Kids Banking

Love this app. See what the children are spending but more than that this helps you see where they have been if they go AWOL !!! Its helped us more than once Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple, easy and transparent

I love how my daughter can get to have her own online banking app whilst I have parental controls and notifications. She is 9 and is able to learn budgeting and spending skills with the help of this app. Would recommend to anybody. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Financial Responsibility but not Freedom!

Our daughter has a Kite account and card, it allows her to buy and pay for things and to receive gifts direct to her account. However, financial controls via our account don't give her too much freedom,,essential at the age of 10! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
