Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Best kids account

My daughter has been using this account for some time now, after moving from another children's account due to their high fees. We love this, the joint real-time alerts, the app is so easy to use and kid friendly. She enjoys being able to use her card both online and in-store. It's great that as a parent I can set spending limits and we can change these as we go, it is so flexible and user friendly. Hands down the best children's bank account available and I will most definitely be signing up my son when he reaches the age for it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Love my Starling Kite account

I used this for my child who has just started secondary. I love how it's part of my account and I can monitor her spending easily. Also, I can top her account up when she goes out with friends; or take money away when she wants something online which I pay for. It's so easy to use. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
