Easy

I can top up her account and know what she spends. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

So easy to use

I find this fantastic - it's easy, I can see what's going in and out, my child also can see what's going on, so is taking more of an interest in saving (or not!). Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to use

Super easy to use account and spaces, love the speedy notifications and easy to read chart of spending Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Kite is so simple to.set up and use. Love it! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

A great bank account for my teenager

I have banked wiht Starliong Bank for a few years now, for business and my personal accounts. When I saw a children's account, I thought it was the perfect resolution for my teenager, who wanted to start work and needed an account, but where I could help them manage their money. The app is easy to use and it's a great first experience for her in banking. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Awesome

I have used starling for about 3 years now and used the kite account for my daughter . Its been fantastic , simple for her to use with no fear of being able to overspend I top it up with her pocket money and family use it for birthday money . I keep track of any spending easily. The card is not babyish and it gives her independence she can see what she has and budgets accordingly. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy, manageable and simple controls

The app is so easy to use. It enables both us as parents to limit the use of cards for the kids to a level that is suitable for their age. The app is manageable and changing limits is instant for those emergency situations when the kids are not with us but require more funds than the card would normally allow.
