Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3120)

Simple and safe

5
With Kite, I can let my 13-year-old son take charge of his own money. But, in the background, I have full awareness of (and ultimately control over) every transaction he makes. We're both happy. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Finance made fun!

5
My daughter loves feeling grown up and managing her own money with reassurance that I can see her account and answer any questions. Visibility of a balance in her account actually encourages her to save her money and really think about her purchases before she makes them.. and a big plus for me is not having to find cash every week for pocket money!

Effortless banking

The app is intuitive and very easy to use. The innovations they have introduced (e.g. Kite, Helping Out and Spaces are all great additions to the account too). Brought banking into the 21st century. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
