Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Great account

Great account. Extremely user-friendly & most importantly; my kids love it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Very refreshing Bank

This bank is so helpful and user friendly, in every way. So much so I have closed my HSBC business accounts now. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing

I like it so much that it is a good idea. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite for kids is great!

The Starling children’s accounts are really good. Set up in one banking app I can easily see what my children are spending on their cards. I can add money and share their link for family to treat them too. Good control over spending limits, daily spend and what services they can access like cash withdrawals and online spending which aren’t enabled for my kids yet but can be switched on as needed. Low monthly fees compared to other providers too. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

So easy to set up and administer

Amazing value and service

Gives me ease of access and the service is amazing Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to use and has everything I need

Excellent product for your kids to start getting experience with money. My daughter was very happy to get her first card she can use to buy something not asking her parents to pay but magically touching the payment machine and seeing that notification on her phone. This experience opened a door to a set of absolutely new questions and areas she never thought about before, so now I have a chance to teach her budgeting and good money habits. Thanks, Starling!

Starling

Starling bank have been great and the kite children account is brilliant my daughter can see what she has spent and how much is on her card with out having to ask 10/10 from us Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great card and easy to manage

Better than expected and easy to track young guys spending. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy peasy

This Kite card means I give my 11yr old independent spending which I can monitor when ever. It's handy for pocket money, going with friends or simply making him feel special that he has his own bank card already. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
