Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

I have 2 kite cards for my 6 and 12 year old.

I have 2 kite cards for my 6 and 12 year old. The account was so easy to open and manage on the app. Free account and teaches kids about money management and gives them a sense of control over what they buy. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

best non mainstream bank account going.

It was fast and simple to setup literally took a few hours at most from applying to getting the account. The cards arrived in a fancy envelope and within the time frame given. So easy to use abroad and in the U.K. my daughter’s kite space makes her feel in control of her money. Makes it easier for me to monitor her spending without impacting g her freedom. She gets to use it abroad and it’s totally free to use with no charges for purchasing abroad. Can’t fault it. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
