Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Fantastic bank all round

5
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
