Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

A modern bank that properly caters for kids as well as adults

5
Starling are fantastic, and I switched from Monzo, so I'm used to modern banks and how they operate. No other bank handles account spaces for kids as well as Starling - everything is easily visible to parents, with limits, the ability to instantly top up and take away funds. Plus kids feel so empowered to have their own card. With parental guidance, our daughter is fast learning about the need to earn and save to get the most from her Kite account.

Gave my youngest a kite space, and all of a sudden he’s flying free financially. Now he wants to know when he can get a Tesco clubcard. Seriously. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
