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 for Monitoring Kids Spending

Excellent for Monitoring Kids Spending. i can control what my child spends by setting limits and by approving certain payments in the app. All round quality service. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best kids back ever
