Starling Kite allows kids access to a great young person's banking experience with their own card and insight into online services Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Easy, clear and secure.

My entire experience with Starling has been a pleasure from the very beginning. I can always reach customer services, any issues are quickly sorted and I find the app very easy to navigate. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Really easy

Easy to use app and helps my daughter understand budgeting Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Great kids app

Love the kids app, son and I use it to add every pound he makes fo homework and then he is using his card to buy toys with the money online. Fantastic that at 9 he can do this. More Ethan every need to teach our children how to manage their money at an early with scams and phishing. Love to add a quick way to add a note when we add money for homework so its clear to him how he earned the money. 4 stars only because there is always room for improvement but best banking app for kids by miles. Adding something around chore completion and getting money when completed would be a great addition. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Super Simple

My 11 year old has independence and its super easy to manage for him and I. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Almost good service

With few recommendations I would suggest this as a very good service. The bank is keep developing new services and listen to their customers. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

excellent service

Easy for me to control and super easy for my child to learn how to use banks Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Great idea and easy to track kids doending

Being linked to my own bank account, the kite account is so easy to set up and monitor. I love that you can choose to set regular transfers into the kite account, limit online spending and cash point withdrawals and set a daily spend limit. I even get notified when the kids spend which when theyre out with friends helps me know thry are where they said they are lol. Having their own app on the kids phone helps them budget and track their spending too and the card is convenient especially in a time where many places prefer card payments. Alsobmakes them feel all grown up! Reviewed on: 5th February 2022
