Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

First steps to banking

This is our daughters first bank account. She has her own card, which gives her independence. We can set spending limits & it's just so easy as we can see he balance and send her money across ot she's short. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

It has been brilliant for a distant dad

Seven years ago, my ex moved my children five hours away by car when they just 4&6 years old. Kite has allowed me to provide them with a controlled way to provide them with pocket money and a place to save their birthday and Christmas money. It’s so easy to use and has been invaluable to us as a family. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best children's account by far

Over the years I've used a couple of accounts for children for my daughter and the starling kite account is by the best, it has instant deposit and withdrawals and real time transactions which is great as it can also pin point when and where this transaction has taken place. 10/10 from me Easy to use Easy to set up Easy to track spends Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Top notch children's account

Myself and my son love the kite account. Notifications immediately when and where card getting used and how much spent so I can keep track. Very easy to use for my son. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

A good account for young people

My son can see exactly what he has available via the ‘lite’ version of the main Starling app and has the freedom to pay for his own things online or with the debit card. I have to approve all online transactions which is an essential peace of mind security that he’s not spending every penny on Robux. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best kids money app!

Works perfectly for my me and my daughter - I see what and where she is shopping and I very easily top up her card as and when. Couldn't be better and happier! Whenever there is a question I ask via the app chat and bang - so far all queries have been sorted straight away. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Straight forward and easy

My grandson loves his starling account especially with his own bank card, encourages him to think twice before spending his own money . Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Really good

Great that my daughter has her own card and that i can control how much she spends, whether she can take cash out or spends online. Also handy to have a link to send out so that family can give her money too. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
