great account for the kids

i can see what’s spent and transfer in seconds Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Fantastic

Easy to use my son has the app so can see his money and his savings. Best thing since sliced bread. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Best child account

I wanted to get my son a child bank account and originally went with gohenry but was to expensive, they used to charge me £3.50 a month and 50p every time I transfer him money but with the Starling kite card it is so much better, it's only £2 a month and and no extra cost to transfer money. I will definitely recommend this service to my family and friends Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Amazing

Love the notification I get from starling when my child bus fare goes through in the morning. And on the way home. Simply great. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great way to promote money management skills

Kite account is an easy to set up and use account for young people whilst allowing parents the ability to put safe limits on spending and promoting independent money management skills. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

The easiest most user friendly banking experience

Brilliant app, it really encourages my son to save as he can see his spending money go in every week on the Starling app on his phone. He loves having his own debit card too Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
