Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

The most user-friendly kids account

5
Previously I had signed up to another product on the market for my kids. But it was more focused on the style over substance. With Starling Kite, my kids have been more committed to saving and the best part is that it’s linked to a parent account to manage too. It’s seamless and easy to access through the app. Love love love Starling Kite! Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Kite Account

My child likes it because the card is the same as mine and they have the app. This encourages them to be more aware of the money they have and their spending. I like it because its easy to transfer money onto and the notifications allow me to keep track of how my child spends their money. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Brilliant - teaching our boys to learn about money

Works wonders, the boys have their own flexibility! Some strange looks by adults when a child pays with a card for a gift in a museum Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Amazing bank for children

5
Fantastic bank account for children. We can control spending limits, can see what they are spending and so easy to transfer money in and out. No hidden charges like other similar accounts for children. All for £2. Highly recommended this account and this fantastic bank to anyone. Banking has changed for the better thanks to starling. Keep up the good work. One happy customer here. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022
