Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

A great childrens account

Really happy with my children’s accounts. Have been with starling since they started having pocket money. This is paid by direct debit by me. They have their cards and can use Apple Pay and I can see there spending. Really happy customer Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

It is ok. Its s internet banking

It’s internet banking. Get rid of the monthly fee for children and it would be 10 stars Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great family-friendly financial tool

Excellent app with live information about my children’s purchases when they are away from home. Very easy to send them their regular locked money each week, and for other family members to send them gifts for birthday etc. Also good practice for them to have independence to spend money using their cards, and to use the app to track their own cash flow and learn about how to manage their money. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
