Fantastic Children's account

I use the kite app for my son who loves it. He is 6 and learning with it. Using the card in shops makes him feel empowered and he loves to look at his balance and work out his spending. Great learning tool for managing money but also building confidence and independence. Never too young to start learning! Reviewed on: 6th February 2022

Easy to use great service

This has been great for me and my teen. I can easily give her money and see where she is spending it too. It's easy to use for both of us. Reviewed on: 6th February 2022

No hidden cost

My kids are using the app and they can be in control of their finances. Knowing how much left, how much they are spending while learning that money doesn't grow on trees; you have to earn it and multiply it. There is no hidden cost is the best feature. You know what you are paying clearly and direct. I am happy with it and they use their account to pay their games and everything in between. Reviewed on: 6th February 2022

Starling Bank is excellent Overall

I find Starling Bank to be extremely efficient without over the top security (but more than enough) as well as easy to start, access and manage accounts for the whole family. The Kite account in particular works really well and gives my kids a straightforward way to learn about the importance of banking Reviewed on: 6th February 2022
