Top notch

After trying a few children's banking products, Kite is simply a cut above the rest. For both my son and I to keep track, save and spend - everything is user friendly and intelligently designed. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

My daughter loves her account. It’s simple to use and offers the protection for her but still makes it fun to understand and she enjoys the responsibility. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great for a first account

I love the independence this account gives the children but still allows me to be in control and able to see what the children spend their money on. I also love that it allows me to easily set limits so they can't go overboard. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great for kids learning independence

Starling has been great for my kids. They're able to control their own spending and saving with the security that I can help manage the account & its limits. The charges are minimal compared to other providers, so great all round. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
