It's good to know what been spending and what's is in the children's bank, its easy to keep an eye on everything, it's one of the best things I've done for my daughter!! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great customer service.

I love my girls starling cards. It's teaching them to be responsible with money and to budget. I also have total control to limit spending and prevent transactions if needed. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to use

I have used other children’s account and find Starling much better. It’s easy to transfer money and it’s all linked to my account so I can easy see what has been spent instantly. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

So easy and convenient. Gives just the right amount of control/oversight but retains the flexibility and makes my lad feel like he has a good bank account!

The direct deposit info is a great development. Very happy with Starling ‘kite’ as a bank for our kids! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simply perfect

this account is simply perfect for an introduction to banking for children. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
