Starling bank is fabulous for kids, my son loves having his own card & seeing the balance grow in my app. Looking forward to starling introducing an app for kids too. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Fabulous Account for kids

Absolute love kite and so does my daughter. So easy to link it to my account with most having to travel to a bank and show documents to set it up. Brilliant that it is for kids aged under 16. Super easy to set up great it links with my starling account I can set limit on what my daughter spends so easy to add and withdrawer money. Makes my daughter like she is in control of her own account but I can oversee it. I have recommended this account for adults and kids to all my friends. It is by far the best kids account around.
