If only all banks were like Starling

The Kite card gives our children their little bit of independence but keeps us as parents in control and maintain. Security risks as the very minimal. The children have access to their own view of their accounts. The only thing that is missing is Apple Pay. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Just a perfect banking product for children

The Kite children’s account is perfect for kids! Simply the best product on the market! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kids account

The kids account is really good and my son loves it. Really easy to add or withdraw money from his account. The only down side is the £2 fee but much cheaper and better then GoHenry Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
