Easy to setup and use

My 7yr old is delighted he has his own bank account and card it was easy to setup and has allowed him to bank his penny bank too. Being able to add money so easily via the postoffice is a big plus Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Best banking experience ever

Moved to starling after 30years with a major Bank and cannot believe how amazing this bank is. Everything is easy and designed to work . Having childrens accounts linked to mine that allow them freedom and flexibility but me oversight of what and how they spend money is a huge miss for every bank that doesn’t do this. Love starling and recommend it to everyone. Those who have moved rave about it too! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Brilliant App

The app makes the Starling Kite so user friendly, and easy for kids to see what they’ve spent their money on. It’s easy to add money to the account too. We love it. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

So easy for me, so great for my kids

Set up takes seconds. Complete flexibility. Child gets to understand the value of money but the parent can see everything and set spend limits etc. It can all be changed and tailored and all from a user friendly app on your phone. All banking should be like this. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
