Starling Kite

I swapped my children's money from go Henry where I was paying monthly fees and fees every time I topped up my accounts to the starling kite accounts and it was so straightforward and easy. I think it's brilliant 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

Staff Always helpful when needed and app easy for me and the children to manage. Teaches them how to manage money they receive. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Easy choice

It was quick and easy to set up. It didn't cost anything, I'm in full control of my children's online spending, and I can very easily transfer them money if they need it. I highly recommend! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Separate pot for savings

My only comment is that the child cannot set up their own savings pots within their kite app Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Simple, Straightforward and free

Kite is a very simple straightforward account for a child with no fee to pay. Its ideal for my 8 year old son and we love it . With me being the main account holder I can always keep an eye on the account via the app and set controls for withdrawals and payments if necessary. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Good app easy to use spaces is a good system.

THE BEST BANKING APP OUT THERE BY FAR

Fantastic banking app both safe and secure and makes for very easy banking and I got the account as it did the kite for my grandson which was very important to me at the time. Well done starling and kite. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
