Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

It is amazing user friendly app and great customer service.

Wonderful state of art banking facility. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Kids card

Great card, linked to my card so I have control whilst my 11 year old feels in control of his money. Great way to learn how to manage earnings, savings and spending! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Children's banking with a difference

Kite has allowed my son to have complete control of his spending with his own debit card, whilst allowing easy access for me to add and withdraw money and to monitor his spending. It has actually made his banking easy and encouraged him to think before he spends because he can immediately see his balance on the app. It is his second bank account because the first was so difficult to manage for him and me. We haven't looked back since discovering Starling. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
