Easy to set up

I have Kite accounts for both of my children. They are easy to set up and easy to use. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great service at a great price

Best bank account for kids, cheap, free transfers, easy to track kids spending. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent for the kids

The app is simple, the only functionality that was missing was the ability for grandparents to transfer money directly to the kids. Now that’s sorted it’s perfect and I do recommend the product. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
