Helping children learn and manage money

5
I love that I can easily add (and takeaway) money from their account and keep track on their spending habits. Equally this allows my son to operate cash free by having his own card. It allows him to be independent but with parental supervision. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Kid Friendly

My daughter loves kite because it gives her control and visibility over her money and makes her feel grown up. I love kite because i don't have to handle cash and I can see and control everything my daughter is doing with her money. It's a great way for children to learn money management.

Fantastic

We opened the Kite account for our daughter I have to say it’s better than I had expected! It’s great that they have their independence but ultimately you have control! I really like how you can change spending limits within seconds and it’s instantly done! I like that it lets me know what’s been spent! I have to say the account has exceeded my expectations and have recommended it to many of my friends!!! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Very impressed

Me and my son love this side of my account, only £2 a month great security and the ability to restrict how much access he gets to his money would recommend to any parent Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Faultless so far

For both myself & since adding my daughter’s kite card, I just can’t fault Starling Bank. So glad I swapped to them. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
