Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Perfect

It has helped me teach my daughter how to budget and be aware of her spending. So simple to use. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Best account!

This has been the best account I have found to help my children be more independent but allows me to help monitor and manage risk for them When needed. This account is prefect for my autistic teenagers I get to know what’s going on but also allow them the ability to feel grown up and independent by having the card Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

So good at keeping tabs on my child's spending whilst still giving him that feeling of independence.

The app is easily accessible by both me and my son. It allows him enough freedom to use his account and gives him a sense of responsibility. 5 stars. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Quick and convenient

This is my son’s first bank account. He was so excited when he got the card as a birthday present. Great present ever! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Kid Smart

Easy for the kids to use and track with their own app. Easy to manage with their dedicated space. Instant spend notification. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great account

Very easy to use. let’s my son take his first steps into managing his own money Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Amazing

Amazingly simplistic banking with better security than the others. Ease of use. My daughter genuinely understands money better and that's purely because of Starling's Kite Childrens account. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Kite account

Highly recommend opening a kite account, my boys love the fact they can control their own spending or savings and are truly beginning to learn the value of money. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

great prompt customer service, son loves his debit card

I opened a 'space' for my 10 year old son. He can access his account via the app and spend money on his debit card. I have full control, notifications for each spend and he feels very grown up! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Fantastic service

Starling offering a great service digitally as well as customer service. All issues solved there and then. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
