Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Best kids account

Starling has to be the best bank I've ever used for keeping in control of your spending and being financially in control. Their kids account allows your child to begin controlling their spending with notifications to you every time the child uses their account. It's helped my child understand the value of money for the last 6 months. Keep up the good work Starling - You should be proud!! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

The Swiss army knife of banking!

I use Starling for everything, family and business finances are more easy to manage. I particularly like traveling without the hassle of traveller cheque or confusing conversion rates. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

My son is 7 and loves having his own card to look after and swipe in shops. His pocket money is easily transferred in 2 mins from my account and he knows how to check his balance through the app. Its much better than when he had cash in his wallet as we could lose track of what he had spent and in shops his money could fall out, get dropped.
