Starling Kite

It is a good app for my kid and he knows to use correctly a bank account Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple and intuitive

Easy to use - simple for the kids and keeps the parents in control. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Easy to set up and check

Really easy to set up if you have an existing personal account. Notifies you everytime they spend anything and allows my son control of his money whilst also letting me keep an eye on his spending. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Quick, friendly and fun to use.

Set up was in a matter of moment and so intuitive to use. A real pleasure to operate and to use to educate my son how to manage his money. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple and very slick.

The only thing that would make it 11/10 is if it was Free! Starling just feels like a cleaner way to bank, every time I talk to a high street bank I feel like I need a shower afterwards. Starling 10/10 Starling Kite 10/10 Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great product

Really happy with the Kite account and how easy it is to control in the app. Perfect for a pre teen to have control of their money under supervision. Also like that the branding isn't childish, ideal for children as they start to grow Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

It just works

Love it very easy to setup and manage, it just works Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
