Great app feature

It's a great way for me as a parent to keep track of my child's spending, handy that my child can access the app on his phone too Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Love it!!

Love the fact that I have full view of my kids activity and can control by putting limits where I need to, for their safety of course. Starling keep adding more functionality which is fabulous, they are so cutting edge and understand clients needs so well, even the young ones. Wish we'd had it years ago.

Very easy to use

Starling is very dedicated to helping customers with always sending out emails detailing new changes or ideas & the app is plain easy to use for the whole family Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Banking made easy

I switched to Starling a couple of years ago and then added an account for my 13yo. It is easy for both of us to move money around and have some spend controls. Main reason for switching was ethical so it's also good that she sees that ethical trading is the way forward. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Very impressed with the Kite account!

Very impressed with the Kite account for my Daughter, it is a great way for her to learn economics and to feel more adult. The visibility it gives us both is perfect and to have the option to cap spending or stop transactions is brilliant. At £2.00 per Month is extremely competitive also. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
