The best setup for kids i've seen!

after watching gohenry and so on change how they deal with kids accounts, I couldn't believe how simple the kite account is. I can see what they're spending, and get notifications. I can even pass a link on to family so they can send my kids birthday money! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

The perfect tool for kids banking

Starling Kite is the perfect product to give kids a little financial freedom and learn the principles of managing a budget. Setting the accounts up was a breeze (I challenge you to do that with some of the high street banks....I failed when I had to have an appointment, and none were available). In practice the apps are easy to use and manage. I have nothing but praise for Starling Bank......all banking should be like this. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
