Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

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

Simple, safe, and crazy-easy

Everything that I expected would be hard, has been made as simple as possible. Everything that is shoddy in other banking apps, Starling have somehow nailed, reliably. My experience with Starling means I'm not going to tolerate rubbish from other banks any more. Fully, totally, happy with their concept, execution, and service. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent account

The kite account has been fantastic, so easy to use, optional controls on the account and a fantastic tool to help financially educate for the future. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple and effective

The banking system for children is great. It’s linked to my own do I can easily check what’s being spent by notification direct to my phone. It’s also easy to check the status while logging in to my own account rather than Ravi v to go into another account. It’s speedy and efficient. I love that you can apply spending limits to the card.
