Another great starling product

Both of the kids have kite accounts. I have a complete overview and control of their spending, for some transactions it’s necessary to approve from the app, which is a great control measure. I have peace of mind that when the kids are out and about, they have their cards with them and money available if required. It’s also a great lesson on managing funds, and understanding the value of money. Fantastic service well recommended. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
