Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Anna P

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

straightforward, clear, does exactly what a parent of a teen would need an account to do.

very easy to set up and use (for both myself and child) let’s me have the information and controls I need as a parent, while allowing my child to have responsibility and learn how to manage their money. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Freedom for kids, control of spend for me

Letting me see what the kids are spending their money on, being able to top the card up as and when required by glancing at the app is great. Giving the kids the freedom to use their card whilst learn about managing their money is invaluable. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite. Flying high!

As a Starling business and personal account user it was an easy choice to get 2 kite cards for my twin daughters. They love the convenience as do I. They both have the phone app to access their account so it's easy for them yo keep track of their finances. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
