My daughter lives her kite account, she can check her balance and keep track of what she is spending, and so can I. It is very straught forward and simple to use Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great Bank and features

I’ve been banking with Starling since 2017, when it was very alien to open an app and bank in the way Starling allowed. Fast forward 6 years and it’s now normal but Starling still lead the way with the best app and features you’d want in a banking app along with Starling Kite and Spaces, there’s just no need to go elsewhere! My only gripe is that there is still no ability to add Starling Kite card to Apple Pay, hence the 4 stars. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent account for kids ,give me flexibility to manage account easily. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent Banking Provider

The Starling Platform is excellent for children’s accounts. It’s easy to navigate, easy to move money around, and my children love to see their balances in their own little savings screen. Their customer service is excellent, so it’s just a really efficient way of managing my kids accounts. They love spending on their own bank cards, which is a rewarding experience for them. Would not hesitate to recommend Starlings Kite account. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
