Cash in an emergency!

Absolutely brilliant if your child is out and needs emergency cash! Also great if you the supposed adult Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Safe and easy to use

My 14 year old twins have the kite card and it's great! I can see how much they've spent and where they've been. It also allows me to add a credit limit etc.. and it's easy to add money into their accounts. They can use it almost anywhere apart from. In gambling, alcohol etc.. so it's really safe and my girls feel like they take control of their own finances. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent Products, Excellent Service

A no brainer

I find Starling the most user friendly bank so it was an obvious choice when setting up an account for my son. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great around family banking

After I signed up for a personal account it wasn’t long before my wife joined, then got a joint account and both our children have Kite accounts. Just a great all round family banking company Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Starling are the fair future of banking!

Every interaction with Starling is seamless. It all just works so well. We have individual accounts, a joint account and Kite accounts for the kids. That was all so good I moved my company banking to them. I almost feel sorry for the legacy banks - almost. Superb! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

great app for parent visibility

the spaces feature is great. you can easily manage funds in and out of a childs account and there is instant visibility and notification of spend against the childs account. would be good if third parties could make payments/transfers directly into the childs account Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
