Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Easy set up

The Kite Childrens account was easy to set up and allows me the option to keep an eye on my daughter's spending. I also love the fact there is no charge for using it! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Look no further than Starling Kite!

The children’s accounts and kite cards are great and have given my children some financial independence! Their pocket money is paid directly into their accounts and they can easily track how much money they have via the mobile app. They don’t have to worry about carrying cash around and love being able to pay with a tap of their cards. I can’t recommend Starling enough, any issue or query has always been properly addressed by the super friendly staff at Starling. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Very easy to use - my 10 year old likes looking at how much she has via the app on her phone. Amazing that it is completely free too! It would be good if the childrens' accounts were separate from my other saving spaces - this would make it easier to manage. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
