Happy customer

It’s great can keep track of all my son’s spending easy to use very happy with starling Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best banking app

I use Starling for business, personal and children's and it's the best banking app I've got. I've got four others and they don't come close to the Starling one in terms of features, ease of use, notifications or accessibility. I highly recommend it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant card and service

The best child banking app. My daughter loves it and I love the way I can see what she's spent. It's totally safe too. Super easy to set up and use. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great for kids

My YP both have Staling Kite accounts and they are brilliant. They allow independence with using their own card, contactless, and they can monitor their funds with their own app! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

It just works!

I started as a casual banking user, but the more I spent with Starling, the more I loved it. So much so, I wanted to share the experience with my 10 year old. He loves his spaces, which allow him to set realistic saving goals and so proud when he uses his own card. Couldn’t be happier with Starling and Kite. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Super easy, great features, always informed.

Very easy to setup, control and view spending for your child. Would highly recommend this to anyone. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
