It's very quick when they loose their cards which is often, you can freeze it on the app. And a replacement arrives super quick at no cost. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

I've been using Starling for years I've never had a problem. So when it came to introducing my daugter to her 1st banking experience. With no doubts whatsoever i chose Starling a bank i have grown to trust . I feel my daughter is insafe hands . In this day and age as her father i wouldn't take any chances .

Starling Kite account. It is by far the best choice of a bank for my kids. It teaches them the value of money, and the importance of saving. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Straight forward and easy to use. You add and withdraw with a couple of clicks through the starling app. I can monitor their spending, top up when needed, add regular payments all at the touch of a button. They get all the benefits of a contactless debit card. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
