So easy to use and great features

Have been using this account for a while as I have to travel abroad for work. This account allows me to control everything from my phone so no need to call back to UK if anything goes wrong I'm now introducing my son to money management and letting him be more independent. Having a kite card means I can control how much he spends and where/how he can spend it which is great peace of mind. He loves being able to pay for his own stuff. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022
