Excellent customer service

Starling always provide an excellent customer service experience . App is very easy to use and gives children the chance to manage their own money in a safe and understandable way Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great

Easy & accessible, kids love it & it gives them some degree of autonomy with added benefit of security & control if needed. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Way better than GoHenry

We used to use Go Henry which was a faff and expensive. Starling makes banking so easy in many respects and we were so pleased when they finally released the kite account. Simple, easy to use and my son loves it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

simple straightforward and safe

Great way to support financial education for kids Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing service

Amazing service and great for my child to learn more about her own money and budgets Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Fantastic both children are using!

This is a best entry tool for financial education for children. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Decent basic account for kids

Brilliant account for kids. The only problem is that it is linked to a parents account and not a stand alone account with monitoring. I think £4.00 monthly charge is a little excessive but on the whole not a bad account and superb app. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
