Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Simply the best bank account for children

Simple to use, first class customer service and technology! My favourite bank! My child has learnt independence and how to manage saving. Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 9th February 2022

Great app and bank account. Especially like receiving notification each time my wee cherub makes a purchase. Reviewed on: 9th February 2022

First class

Excellent easy to use instant notifications Easy to set up Lots of controls Reviewed on: 9th February 2022

Great app easy and the kids love it

I haven a 14 13 and 8 year old they each have a card and it is so easy and efficient to use. They are happy and I am confident that I can transfer quickly in an emergency situation. Reviewed on: 9th February 2022

Independance from a young age

My daughter gains independence and money management skills from having her own card and space. Reviewed on: 9th February 2022

Why bank with anyone-else!

I've loved the banking experience with Starling from day 1. The app makes every transaction and communication so smooth and easy. Other banking systems seem lost in the dark ages by comparison! And the Kite children's account is no exception. Reviewed on: 8th February 2022

Good but could be better

There are some things that could be improved, like why cannot the card be accepted by apple wallet? and why cannot the card have a child's app for their phone so they can check their balances? Reviewed on: 8th February 2022

Easy peasy

It's the easiest app possible to use, transferring your child money takes seconds, your child gets their own card and pin, but you can keep it all under control from your own app,(the child can have an app also! And all it cost is £2 a month! Not 1 extra hidden cost! My daughter loves Starling.l Reviewed on: 7th February 2022

Fantastic for my teenage daughter

This has been brilliant start for learning to manage money, having financial freedom and control of her own funds. We have been able to support her spending remotely and it has been just great! Reviewed on: 7th February 2022

Easy to use

Very useful and easy to use. I can manage the limits and track payments easily though the bank app. Reviewed on: 7th February 2022
