Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Love banking with Starling

5
Ever since I signed up to Starling back in the day! It’s just got better and better and the introduction of the children’s account has been fantastic. My little one loves his own “credit card” as he calls it and the look on his face when he’s using the chip and pin at the checkout is great, 7 year old boy beaming with pride.

Very say to set up and control. My son loves it. The only down side we can’t add to his phone to make payment. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

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

My 10 year old daughter loves her Starling Kite account

I hold my business account with Starling Bank and had initially considered other banks for my daughter's account. The Starling Kite account proved simple to set up and for my daughter or operate and gain a great understanding of the value of money - both saving and spending. She would award Starling 10 stars!

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
