Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Perfect account

Amazing account with spaces that help me organise my life - including the Kite account. It helps teach my child the vale of money and I'm notified with every transaction. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

My children are loving it!

Our boys are digital experts and they love being able to manage their pocket and birthday money online! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Super!

My tween finds the card convenient to use and more safer to carry around. As a parent I like the fact that I can limit the spend and with the notifications, I can tell exactly where the money is being spent - and most times, the exact time! 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
