Great for teaching children about money

I have 8 and 9 year old boys who use their kite account for pocket money and any gifts. They love using the card in shops, and also checking out how well they are doing in saving. It gives me peace of mind knowing I'm in full control whilst teaching them on how to handle money! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to use and give kids a level of responsibility

I love the Starling Kite app. It allows me to transfer money to my boys in seconds. It also gives them a level of responsibility in taking charge of their pocket money. Starling makes banking for kids easy! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best service

Simple and easy service for kid's all parents should look on that Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing bank

So not only do my partner and I have personal accounts we also have a joint and 2 kite accounts for our older kids. It’s amazing having it all in one place easy to get in touch if need be etc the only thing I’d like is for them to have an account for younger children to save instead of just a savings space.
