Kite account

5
Very easy for children to use and also you can keep check of there spending through your account Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite account perfect for my daughters

5
I chose the Kite account because unlike the high street banks I had researched, it was extremely easy and quick to set up accounts for my daughters. I love the way their Kite accounts are joined to my own account making it very easy to transfer money back and forth, and also monitor their spending. They love having their own cards too which they can use in shops and on the bus. When they misplace their cards I love how quick it into lock and unlock their cards through the app to give them a chance to find them (usually on their bedroom floors!).
