Starlling bank always helpful

Starling bank always helpful friendly bank Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

The best child account available

I swapped from the go Henry kids account to starlings kids account, I have banked with starling for several years and when I noticed they had the kids account I immediately opted to change to them! My son has his own debit card, the price is only £2 a month compared to the go Henry price of £5.99, I also find that the set up, lay out and the ease is so much better with starling, my son is able to take cash out, use contactless etc. I also don’t get charged if I have transferred too much to his account and need to transfer it back to mine, which I did have with go Henry. I would recommend to any parent! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great way to manage pocket money

Great to track my kids about banking early on Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great kids app - reasonable cost

The kite app on the parents phone shows balance, where money has been spent and has controls over daily spending amounts, if can be used online ect. Kids app shows balance, statement. Costs less than other kids debit cards in the market. Overall very satisfied. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Starling Bank

From the moment I opened my personal Starling account, I knew I was on to a winner. Easy peasy to set up, no unnecessary messing about. The APP is great and works perfectly. My Son has his own Kite card and I can top up or withdraw funds for his "KITE SPACE". He also has a linked APP on his phone too, which is great. I have saving spaces for various goals and all at the touch of a button. I recently discovered the "Settle Up" feature where money can easily be requested from anybody and paid quickly, ideal for splitting bills on a night out with mates etc. Love love love my Starling... Most excellent bank!!!! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent

Gives my child the freedom to use her card in all shops. She can only spend what is on her card so risk of overspending. So easy to transfer too Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite Account Simple To USe

Kite account is a great product from Starling who are hands down my favourite banks, easy for my son to see what money he has and keep track of what he's spent, I feel it could be even better if they allowed children to have separate saving spaces too, and if people could pay directly into the Kite space like grandparents wanting to give pocket money, but overall it's a great product and allows us to teach our child about money safely, I hope it matures more over time to become even more complete.product for children.
