All good

Everything goes quickly and efficiently. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great for independence abroad

My kids have both been on school trips and transfers are instantaneous. We know we are getting a decent rate without charges and prior or the excursions don’t have to bother queuing at the post office for Swiss Francs or Euros. Win-win Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

The best card for teens from parents point of view

Love the card and options offered by Starling. That includes a transparency of transactions (KYC = KYKid;)) and all tech flexibility necessary for a teenage kid to survive in a city (in our case in Cambridge). An wonderful product! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant

Excellent tool

Starling Kite allows me to monitor my kids expenditures, I don't have to give them pocket money in cash and it is very safe. I've been using it for a couple of years and I really recommend it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
