Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

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

Does what it's supposed to!

Would not hesitate to recommend Starling Kite. Gives children the independence of managing their own money whilst allowing parents to keep an eye on what they are doing or top up as required. Easy to use and very user friendly. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

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

Amazing for pocket money

Want some chores doing?or just want to know what your kids are spending this is amazing Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant step towards independence

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
