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

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
