Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3120)

Easy to use, and my kids love it

It's an easy way for parents, friends and relatives, to safely give my kids money for their birthdays or special occasions. My children love having their cards, it makes them feel more independent and in control of their own money. It's a great way to teach children about how to manage their money, from a young age. They also love the app and the fact that they can see how much they've spent etc. Overall it's been great, we made the right choice. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Pocket Money Revolution

Kite children's account is brilliant! it is so easy to move money in and out of the account. It allows my daughter independence of having her own card, whilst we still have access to see all her expenditure. It has revolutionised the way we do pocket money and has helped her earn to budget more effectively. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
