Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Best kids account

Starling has to be the best bank I've ever used for keeping in control of your spending and being financially in control. Their kids account allows your child to begin controlling their spending with notifications to you every time the child uses their account. It's helped my child understand the value of money for the last 6 months. Keep up the good work Starling - You should be proud!! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Using the Starling app to manage our children's accounts is a total breeze. They love having their own cards & being able to check their balances on their tablets. Definitely highly recommended! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Fantastic bank.

Very easy to set up on line and easy to use app. Giving my boys an excellent and safe start in banking. I feel very secure with the way the bank works. I was especially pleased and attracted by the moral ethos of bank. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Such an easy option to help a child manage money

Daughter had an account with another provider but it was complicated and unwieldy. This is so much easier. She hates that I can see what she spends her money on but one day she will work out the upside to cash :) Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
