Best Card for Kids

5
This account is brilliant. It gives my daughter the freedom of a debit card and I can track her spending. Most banks the child has to be 16 for a card these days. I was struggling especially through covid when it was debit card everywhere and and still had her school trips then I saw the Kite that starling was offering and it is perfect, definately worth £2 per month.
