Simply the best

I can transfer and keep track of my daughter’s spending whilst she cancan keep tabs on her spending 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

Quality service Fantastic customer services What they lack in functions they more the make for in everything else highly recommended Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing bank for children

I have 3 kite accounts and they are amazing! I can help control their money and it also helps them gaon independence and financial skills for their future. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great features and functionality

Given my kids (some) independence with their money is great, and the features/functions the Starling app has to help manage their spending makes it very very easy. The recent direct payment to a kite space is another great feature which the kids love because they can ask their grandparents for money! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
