So simple to use and easy to manage.

The Starling Kite product has proved to be a great way to give my children their own pocket money accounts and contactless spending cards. It was so easy to setup and manage from my parent account. I just read the rules, confirmed the option, added an initial amount and a couple of payment cards came through the post in my children’s names. I can add money easily to their accounts and also withdraw money and hand my children cash if I want to. I now use a schedule to pay their pocket money in directly. They feel so grown up when they reach for their cards when they shop, just like mum and dad. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
