Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Best Kids Bank Account ever!!!

5
Our son's Kite bank account with Starling has been perfect and does everything we need it to. Being able to add spending limits, limit where the card can be used, as well as getting live updates is super helpful. It so easy to use and our son loves the freedom of having his own card. It's got even better now that family can pay his birthday and Christmas money directly into his account :) Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
