Highly encouraging to teach children about money

Amazing product for 6-16 year old. They learn to manage their own money whilst being overseen by parents/guardians. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Recommend the Kite Account for Children

We'd had problems with another children's account provider. I already had a personal Starling account, it was the simplest thing in the world to add my son to the account so he has his own card but I can keep an eye. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022
