Amazing Childrens Account

5
Both of my children have their own spaces with cards they can use independently. We transfer them pocket money every week in return for jobs in the house. They can then choose what to spend it on. We set the daily limit & allow or disallow card payments in the shop or online. I get notified of each spend as it occurs. My oldest has 2 spaces now, one for savings as he has realised that it disappears if you spend it. Its a brilliant way to give a little self sufficiency & education on money which is effectively theirs. So impressed with the service & technology & ability to write notes against everything if you need to. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

I am so impressed with the Kite bank accounts that I have for both of my children, they are easy to use, easy for me to access, they can check their own balances and they have started to learn about making their own financial choices. The accounts are excellent and I would absolutely recommend them to friends/family. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
