Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

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.
