Great way for kids to learn budgeting

We have used kite with our teenager to help him learn the value of money. He gets his pocket money into it and has to budget that out. Plus we can see what he is spending it on, and where, and have any conversations that are needed to guide him. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

No-brainer: Get Kite for your kids

They get a card and the ability to spend online. You get the controls you want, less the expensive fees of alternatives. Would be EVEN better with Apple Pay so they can use their phones with it too Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
