Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Excellent!

Have a space for my Grandson. He loves the freedom it gives him and I love the parental control it offers me. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

My daughter loves her Kite card

My daughter loves her Kite card. It's really helpful that I can see what she's spending. I especially like that I can see when she checks in on her school bus and taps in again on her journey home. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Family Friendly

Love Starling. Easy to set up. App is easy to use. Can keep track of child’s spending. Can’t fault Starling! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Highly recommend

The customer support Starling provide is outstanding. I bank with 3 different banks because of work and business and the other two banks are in the Stone Age regarding product offering and support compared to Starling. I can not praise them highly enough! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent kids account

This account is a great way to keep a track of my son's spending. I can easily transfer money into or out of(!) his account. I have set up regular top ups so I don't have to worry about sending his pocket money across to his card each month, it just goes. Would definitely recommend to friends. Well worth the small monthly charge, and less than some of my friends kids accounts. Overall an excellent kids account. Thank you Starling for making this so easy! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy and quick

2 teenage girls mean I have to add or withdraw funds depending on what 'consequences' they qualify for. Yhis is quick and easy on Kite Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
