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

Daughter loves it

She likes having her own card and it's easy for me to see what she's spending etc. Plus sending a link for birthdays etc is so easy. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great

Easy to set up put transaction limits and track spending. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to replace card!

Our daughter is losing her card all the time, it's such a peace of mind that blocking and replacing is so easy! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Starling kite card is fantastic

My children both have these cards. They are 8 and 9. It gives them a bit of independence and helps teach them how to use money and debit cards sensibly as they grow up. Great way to pay them for little chores around the house. They always have an eye on the balance and feel rewarded when they see the balance rising. Didn’t know I needed all those chores done LOL ! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy, simple to follow app for myself and the kids

The app is easy and straightforward to navigate. And transferring funds to the kids cards is frictionless. And the alerts I get when they are using the card is fantastic. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
