Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Perfect for a 9yr old little fella

My son is delighted to have a contactless bank card! I love it as I can cap his daily spend and I’m notified every time it’s used. The only problem is that now it’s ‘his’ money, he doesn’t want to spend it! Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Easy to use

Easy to use and linked to my account Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Perfect kids account space

I'd tried a different product aimed at kids, but had soooo many problems topping it up. Not the case with Starling, simple to transfer money at any time, no limits, and an app for my kid to use too to easily keep track of their own use. Plus I get notified of all transactions my kid makes, so I can keep an eye on what they're purchasing. I recommend this to all my friends. Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Very convenient children's account

Integrated tightly with our joint account and let us control all kinds of spending and other settings Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Kite Cards

I got 2 Kite cards for my children. They are easy to transfer money to, so I can top them up at anytime. They have the apps on their phones so they can keep track of their spending (and so can I) and it is teaching them to budget and save - both very valuable lessons for teenagers.
