Amazing give the children independence with parents also having as much control as is needed Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

I like being able to have easy access to my son’s account and monitor transactions etc. why don’t you allow a child to have the experience of paying cash into their own account? This is possibly the worst feature of this account along with the child being easily able to access their account via the parents banking app on a phone/tablet. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Simple - easy - free

Setting up the 2 children's kite accounts was so easy online, which is a rarity these days! The cards arrived fairly promptly, and the setting up of the apps on the children's devices was so easy too. The fact I can manage there accounts so simply by my own app also adds to a completely flawless setup.......and it's free. Couldn't be happier Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
