Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

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.

Fantastic Bank !

Everything about this bank is great …. They are so innovative and constantly improving things…. My 3 kids absolutely love the kite app and the independence they have with their own card.
