Easy simple and quick

My kids bus to and from school. They may require money while out with friends. I use starling as it allows me to monitor their spending as well as allowing them the freedom the always want! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple and effective

Love the starling kite space. I can keep an eye on what and where money is being spent and my daughter is learning how to budget her money. It’s easy, quick to set up and simple to use. Excellent product. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy and positive

Teaching my child financial independence is so easy with Kite. He has 'control' to make decisions whilst I control what he can spend. Its a win win bank account. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple and does what you need.

I have used this for a year now and I’m sure it does more complicated things than I am asking of it but one of the reasons I like it is that it is very simple. I manage a card for my eldest child, can transfer £ in and out easily and see where £ is being spent almost immediately. I also really like the savings feature where you can set up a sub account and every time you spend from your main account a small amount is also added to your saving sub account. So far it’s been a fantastic tool for managing every day spending. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Intuitive app

Easy to use app, instant notification when my child spends money, transfers are instant and easy to carry out Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
