Quick and Easy to set up and use

Perfect and easy to use. Fast card delivery and anyone can add into the account as it has its own account number and sortcode Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

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

Everything you need want and more

I have been a customer of Starling since 2018 and in that time I have seen progression, sensibility, sensitivity, common sense and all the features as advertised by other banks before said banks. You have an issue by the time you've spoken to customer services the issue is resolved. Nothing is too much trouble and I feel like a valued customer. My kids now have kite cards and I am able to teach them money management, online safety, budgeting, etc. I have full control nothing has been forgotten. I feel safe and secure with starling as do my kids my money and my wellbeing. I will sing the praises of starling for as long as anyone will listen Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great to teach finances

My son has control of his own money, hopefully teaching him good habits for later in life. I can set spending limits and see what he has purchased, win, win. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Giving children the right tools to be money savvy

The Starling Kite account has been perfect for my 9 year old daughter. Other than feeling very grown up at owning the Kite card, it has actually encouraged her to save more. She can see via the app what she is spending and when money is transferred into her account. It's now more about the money going in rather than spending imaginary never ending money! Perfect!
