Best banking app

5
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
