Kite is very valuable. Other banks charge a monthly fee for similar products but this is not only free to use but is ridiculously easy to use. The app is intuitive, fast and... Read more Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026

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

A great way to start introducing financial choices to your child

5
Simple and easy to use. Gives lots of detailed information, and by asking for permission to purchase, great for having conversations with your child. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Fantastic bank all round

I have nothing but praise for Starling and the kite account, I've persuaded about 5 or 6 people to switch and they love it as much as me. So easy and user friendly, the customer service is second to none. My 9 year old loves the independence the kite account gives him and has his own app so feels very grown up. Much better than a couple of others I've timriwd and a lot cheaper. I have literally no complaints at all Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
