Best account for pre-teens

Starling kite account is the best for my pre teen allowing her to have independence of her own money using her card but with the safety of being able to keep an eye. Would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite for Kids - Easy Peasy

Easy for kids and peasy for parents. Now just make it free and it's perfect! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent product with even more potential

The Kite account is excellent and provides all the essentials for my child; debit card, notifications, spend tracking and the usual Starling features for the full account. The cost is reasonable but for homes with a number of dependents it would be great to see a family discount scheme. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Fab

Teaches children to learn the value of money. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy peasy

A very simple and user friendly childrens bank account that show you instantly when, where and how much your child has spent. Contact payments also make life easier as cash doesn’t need to be carried. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
