Great kids bank account

Starling kite is a great kids bank account. It's easy to transfer money to them, they love having their own back cards and being more independent with their spending and saving. I also love that other people can now send cash directly to them. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant step towards independence

5
Two of my children have a Kite children’s account and they absolutely love having their own master debit card. It is helping to teach them about managing and spending their money wisely. One child has their own phone device so they are able to see their account balance, seeing how much money they have to spend, how they have spent and the effect that has on there balance once money has been deducted. I love the fact I can manage all the features of their accounts through my account i.e security and what they can and can’t do with the card. furthermore, I can also monitor all their spending! It’s been amazing for us as a family. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
