Excellent saving/spending account

I have 2 for my 2 foster children. They have money paid in weekly and it then gives them the choice to save for holidays or spend it when they want. They love using their cards and feel very grown up. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to use and full of useful tools

The app is great, it's easy to navigate and has some great functions like linking a euro card with your sterling account and kite spaces to manage money easily. The kids accounts are great too, gives them what they need without the risks. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
