Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Fabulous account for children and young people

This app is really good for children and younger people to understand how to manage money but letting the parents still keep an eye on their spending. Its easy to use and simple to manage as its connected to the parents account. Plus my son is really happy with it and thats a win in my book Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great for kids

So easy to set up a kids account and you can see exactly what their spending, where and when with ease. No extra gubbins, just the info you need. £2/m is worth it for sure! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
