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
