Perfect kids bank

All 3 of my kids have one and it's great! Gives them the knowledge of how far money doesn't go. They're able to save up and buy something they really want and makes them aware of the hard work that goes into earning each penny. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent card for kids

My son has the kite card since it was launched. Absolutely amazing, it is teaching him how to manage his own money and I can set up limits, such as: how much he can spend , if he is allowed to use in cash machines and I am always notified of his transactions. Latest feature he can check his balance too. Fantastic Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
