Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Just how a bank should be, excellent

Since moving to Starling my banking has become enjoyable with an excellent app experience. My daughter loves her kite Account and it’s great for parents to keep a close eye on her spending whilst giving her the sense of independence. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great account

Great account for kids, giving them all the benefits of a customisable bank account with extra security Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Banking for the next generation

Had a kids account at with a big named branch bank but the hoops we had to jump through to do anything became ridiculous. We closed the account and open a kite card ith Starling. What a difference! So easy to set up and link to my account, card arrived really quickly and we were set up on my teens phone in minutes. It's really boosted their confidence with managing money being able to keep track of spending and saving on the app and the controls for parents are fantastic. I would really recommend a kite card for any young person or a Starling account in general to everyone else. We even set my father up with an account a few years ago and he said it was the best change he'd made in ages to his banking. So thank you Starling! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kids love the independence

Childrens account is easy to manage, safe for the kids to use with pre-determined limits and prohibited spend catergories. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Convenient and intuitive

Being able to give my teenaged an early lesson in how to manage his finances has been made all the easier since I set up a Starling Kite account for him. His pocket money, birthday gifts and sundry other monies go in there and I can keep a track on his payments and he can use his card to buy his inevitable computer games or get an element of financial autonomy when he's out on his own.
