Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Great service

Excellent service for our son's first card. 5* Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Suited to needs

It it just what I needed for my daughter. To be able to transfer money into and monitor use. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to set up and even easier to track usage

A simple process to set up and the overview it gives you of how the card is used allows for conversations with children about financial responsibility Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great service and the kids love it too

Very easy to use and see what is happening and the kids love it as well. Definitely recommend it Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

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

Superb!

Easy to use, gives independence to our children but provides us with safeguards to ensure their cash remains secure Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant

Amazing I can control what they spend with the correct limits and what they spend it on. Brilliant service 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
