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

Starling easy peasy

I started using starling bank several years ago,I find it easy and safe to use. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing!!!

5
Starling Kite account gives us amazing clarity on what our child spends money on, when and where. It doesn’t allow him to use the card anywhere which isn’t verified by Starling but also gives him a sense of accountability and independence. App is really easy to use and it’s reaching our child how to look after money Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant account for kids

5
Myself and my two kids have enjoyed using their Starling account. Taught both kids to budget and save and responsibility with their own money while I as a parent can also monitor their spending. Absolutely will recommend to any parent who wishes their child to teach them about money and how to be a responsible spender and earner :) Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
