Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

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

Great way to introduce kids to money management.

Been using Kite for some time, no complains. Our daughter lost her card and someone made few purchases. Starling resolved that promptly and refunded the money. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Starling is awesome

It's so refreshing to have everything in one app; the kids cards, my personal account, a joint with my wife and her sole trader she uses for her business. It just works! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great provision for children

The kite card for children is both educational, practical and gives young people autonomy and independence, great for parents, grand parents and guardians and has many safety features too. We'll done starling. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
