Great idea

The kids card is great and is fully controllable by the main account holder, my only frustration was getting the app to sync on the child’s phone. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple

Easy to use and manage and no hidden fee's what more could you want Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Fantastic for children

I can easily see what my kids are spending, I can add ready pocket money and little amounts for helping out with jobs. So easy for them to use and have an understanding of money Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite Kids Account

Not really sure why I’m being charged £2 for my child to have an account which is attached to mine, or for a card which should be free for anyone who has a bank account, however it seems the best option from all banks offering an account to a child. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Superb for kids

Starling kite is amazing, my boys 16 and 9 both love it and for the younger one it's opened his eyes to banking apps and debit cards. So easy to set up and use. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
