Great app and super easy to use for kids and adults

Full control of the kids money and card at a click of a button in the app. As always, great and trouble-free service... My son love the indépendance of his kite card... Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent first card

Brilliant card for young people managing savings and spending money Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Fantastic banking

We love the Kite accounts and it has made managing the kid’s pocket money and savings really easy. It’s great the way we can send a link for grandparents to send birthday money as well. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Excellent customer service support

I like the user friendliness of Kite. We had some issues with a bank card for one of my children and the support on live chat was very efficient. Would recommend. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great pocket money account

I set up Starling Kite for my daughter’s pocket money. In the digital age it’s great that she can learn about money by using the kid’s app and paying with her own card. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Fantastic secure service

It is very secure and ideal to use for my 14 year old son. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Starling Kite has made it so easy

Thank you for making it easy for my son to get access to money to spend at the shop or save. I can only thank Starling over and over for making it easy and workable. Especially at the start when he forgot his passcode, brilliant customer service and so well thought out Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to use, slick, great features for kids and parents

As per title really. It works really well. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant

I love the ease of using the account and the children absolutely love it and feel in control Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great kids account

It's a decent account with good controls. The only downside is that money can be moved out just as easy as its put in. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
