Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Safe, Secure & Empowering!

The Children's account allows me to educate my son about finances in a safe and secure way while giving him the empowerment to own his money and learn very important lessons about how money works - this in invaluable to embed good financial habits for when he becomes completely independent later in life!

Superb KIte Account

Kite cards are a simple way for children to be taught how to work with money. Easy steps to set this up. Parents informed when the child is spending so that this can be monitored. Does not allow this to be used for any over age purchases. Everything is superb. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

What an excellent way of failsafe introduction to banking for the children and really safe and informative for the account holder. Just like a normal card or mobile account yet I know exactly where, when and what. Great Service Thank you Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Great Features!

Independence for young ones to experience and manage their money Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Brilliant for kids (and parents)

Was able to finally set up cards for my children and Starling have made it so easy. Anyone can transfer onto their card with their personal link and the kids love having a bit of independence with their own bank card!! Definitely 5* from me!! Reviewed on: 17th February 2023
