Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Just a superb bank compared to the competition

I love the fact that one debit card serves two purposes as a Euro card and as a sterling card. Not only that, but the card knows which currency is which, unlike, say, Google pay. Reviewed on: 10th February 2022

So easy and effective

Great way to manage your child’s money and teach them about the cost of things. So easy to add and remove money as you need. Definitely recommend Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing

Fantastic app

Perfect for my teenager. I can see all transactions, transfer funds, change spending levels and stop the card immediately. Much more reasonable priced than others I looked at. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

I love Kite Children account

I set it up for my son. He loves having a card, and we both can see the amount from both our phones, although I have complete control of it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite for kids

Great for learning about finance..... Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

A good way to teach children on financial responsibility

As a parent, I'm always looking for ways to teach my children about financial responsibility and budgeting, and the Kite account with its app definitely fits the purpose. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

User friendly app

The app is user friendly and provides necessary information about my account including my kid’s. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Gives my son financial freedom.

It’s great that I can give my son some financial freedom and yet still check up on him. He loves having his own card, but my favourite part while a bit trivial is that I’ve attached photos to his and all our accounts and I get to see his beautiful face every time I log on. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Teenager loves having her own card

Easy to set up. Easy to add money when needed. Teenager loves having her own card but still let’s me keep a quiet eye. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to manage! Straight forward and not complicated! Love it! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
