Both of my teenagers use the kite card its great

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

My daughter's first bank.

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 .

Excellent

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

Easy as 1,2,3

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

Kite!

Great feature and very handy for getting children to learn to manage their money all whilst keeping them safe. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Teaching kids how to use money

Having his own card, with a mutually agreed daily spending limit, allows my child a level of independence and forces sensible choices when it comes to what he spends money on. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kid very happy

My boy is very happy with his app based account and loves having an actual debit card. I love how easy it is to top up his account etc Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
