Easy banking for kids.

It's like an adult account but for kids. It's a safe space for my son to learn about saving and also how to use his account. It's really building his confidence and understanding of money. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Let's fly a kite

I spent some time looking for an account for my children, and found them all to be pretty much the same other than cost, In the end I chose the Starling Kite account as I was already a account holder with Starling Bank, my children both have the Kite app on there phones which gives them the ability to see how much is in there account which helps them to understand that money does not just appear like magic, whilst I can see what and where they are spending they are very much in control making them feel a bit grown up, we all a very happy with the Kite account.
