Fantastic service

Both my lads have a card and it's absolutely fantastic. I get alerts when they spend and with the age limit I feel happy they can not buy things they shouldn't 100 % recommend Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Brilliant!

I love being able to view the kite account from my main account, sending money to it is super easy, and I get notified as and when my child spends on her card and where it is. She loves having her own app and feeling like a young adult with her own money. It's really helped her to learn about budgeting and saving. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best bank ever!

Never have a problem and my daughter loves having her own debit card to use on her kite space and is always checking her kite app. To sum up starling, best bank ever!! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Flexible management of child accounts

We love Kite - it works really well to have a parent managing child spaces. I can see what my children are spending and when, and can help them better manage their money. If one of them loses a card it can all be managed within the app Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
