Quick to set up, hassle free and love the notifications that come through when my child has used his card. Also the daily spending cap is definitely a great feature. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Game changer

5
Love how easy it was to set Kite up, love how I can easily add funds to Kite (as recurring and one off payments), love how I get notifications on spending and love how I can track the balance etc, Next level account for kids - futuristic and seriously clever/intuitive Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Kite is great for kids

5
I have 3 kites accounts for the kids and it really does teach them how to manage their money and think about what they are buying. I can track their spending and it’s great as the functions to manage the cards are very easy to use. I find this service as part of my Starling account invaluable. I would highly recommend the Kite account. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Kite is a brilliant service for children

5
This has taught my son to be more independent with his money, I also like the fact that he has access to his balance and I can see what he has spent and where (and at what time etc). His pocket money goes directly on to the card and it has enabled him to be more independent. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Brilliant cards, I have their accounts joined to mine and they are cheaper than other competitors and much more grown up. They are stylish looking cards and my teens both love them. Easy to use and setup and the kids have app access of their own. Fantastic service and a great company! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
