Perfect for the little one

Absolutely perfect product. Apart from the kids having their own card you can easily transfer money from your account to theirs and they can see what their spending on their very own app. This allows you to show how to save and how much they have without having to sign in to an app several times. Well done starling! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Excellent service

I have been using Starling for over a year now. I have a current account, joint account and a children’s kite account. I love the ease of the app and all the facilities such as saving spaces. I transfer weekly pocket money into the lite account and it definitely makes my 9 year old more aware of saving. I recommend to everyone I know! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
