Simple and effective

Both of my children have a kite card. It’s so easy to use, they can see their pocket money building via the app and they can also see me taking it back when their jobs haven’t been completed! Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Great kids banking service

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
