Great account for even the youngest of children

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
