Great for Kids and Parents

Really like this account let's kids take control of there own bank account but parents also can limit what and how money on there accounts Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Independence for kids, peace of mind for parents.

Kite is a fantastic idea. Kids get to control their own money, within agreed limits, and learn to manage their spending. There is peace of mind for parents with notifications when the card is used, the ability to disable it every time it is mislaid and - importantly - parents can transfer money instantly when their child has taken the wrong train and needs extra funds urgently. Very happy with it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
