Great banking experience! Slick & innovative

Use Starling now as personal account with linked childs card/space. I moved from one of the high street banks and have never looked back! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

The account makes introducing my children to banking very easy. The functionality is comprehensive and easy to operate. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Impressed

Really impressed with Stirling Kite, its user friendly, keeps me updated on my child's spending and asks for authorisation when payments are made on line. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple to use

Simple to use and very easy to transfer Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great bank easy to use

Starling is a great online banking option that inspires safety. Its Kite product for children is really good as you can set it up as an extension of your own account which makes it easier to view and manage. But as the child also has access to their own app it teaches them budgeting and financial awareness. The only extra thing I’d like to see with Kite is the option for children to have their own saving spaces. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Amazing kid's account

My son loves his account and it's very easy to use Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great

Very good card for children also good app Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Fantastic Bank

An excellent banking service which has been followed up with a fantastic Kite account for my child. Really easy to add and withdraw funds and help my child learn the process of earning and spending but also learning good governance of his finances. Help is always on hand and I have found staff to be very responsive and helpful with any queries. Highly recommended, Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
