Can you love a bank? YES if it's Starling Bank!

Kite is just as fabulous and easy to use as the grown-up's bank account and my daughter loves having her own bank card. I can see her live transactions and send pocket money on the go. I have flexible control of the spending limit and likewise for contactless purchases. It's so simple. And what a great first experience for children learning to manage their own money. FULL MARKS!
