Current account and kite account

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.

The most user-friendly kids account

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
