Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

Easy and reliable

Costumers service is spot on! I had a few issues (kid's fault) always solved in a few minutes. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing bank

I’ve been with Starling for two years and have opened current accounts and Kite accounts for my kids. Everything has been superb and has encouraged me to manage my money better using the Spaces function. The kids love their cards and are learning to manage their money from a young age. The most impressive thing about Starling is their customer service. I have never waited longer than 4-5 minutes to speak to somebody and have always had my issue resolved quickly. Thank you for an amazing banking service Starling! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

So easy to use

I love Starling bank, so it was an easy choice to apply for a Kite children’s account. So easy to use, and the Kite app allows my child to review spending and saving. The Kite link allows family to easily transfer money too. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Thank goodness for Starling Bank!!

Great bank all round since we joined 5 years ago. I am glad it’s gone from strength to strength, I knew it would. Helping to eliminate the high street corrupt banks! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

So easy

Really easy to use. My daughter is getting much better at managing her money as she can see her own balance and decide what she wants to spend her money on. Very easy for us as parents to add money and set limits. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
