I love how Kite enables both my daughter and I to keep track of her pocket money. So simple. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Excellent App for Young People

With the introduction of their app the Kite Children's account is now a viable alternative to GoHenry. The subscription price is lower too. My daughter is 13 and loves the independence having a contactless card gives her, especially so during a pandemic which saw some major outlets stop accepting cash as payment. As a parent I can see how much she is spending and where. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
