Definitely

I'm very happy it's really good me and my little love it Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite is fantastic for childrens financial development

Schools and education do not teach children about money and banking but the kite account does just this - and very well! My child is learning the value of money and all about spending and money management. I feel this is essential in child development to prepare them early on for the real world and to fully prepare them for the world of adulthood and all aspects money e.g. bills, spending money, budgeting. The app is seamless, intuitive and I can literally monitor and manage every aspect of my child’s account so they’re able to use it safely and securely. My child is already saving for “something I might really want” rather than spending money on the first item they see in a shop! Very very impressed. Well done Starling! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

It is easy to set up and extremely easy to use and keep track of. My kids love having their own bank cards. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Fantastic child card, great intro

We gave our son a kite card for his bus to school. Easy to use, easy to add funds and to keep track of spending. He now has his own account but we continue the kite card for stuff we pay for like bus fares. Love it Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Up up and away with kite

Fantastic children's account, easy to use, notifications every time the children spend, parental controls on daily spend and merchants they can spend with. Set up weekly or monthly transfers to the accounts and can all be done within the app. 5 stats from me. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
