Fantastic service. Fantastic value

Starling Kite accounts are fantastic. They offer the children access to a real card and the ability to manage their money in a safe way. The app, whilst not as sophisticated as some of the other children’s accounts works flawlessly every time. By using starling kite, my children have been able to spend their money, as well as make mistakes by themselves, all safely controlled as the parents are always in control Fantastic job Starling!
