We’ve been banking with starling for a few years now and the service is always brilliant. My daughter has her first account which she loves the freedom of having her own bank card. We can set limits on this and we can make sure she’s using her money wisely. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

My two teenage daughters have a Starling Kite account and they love the freedom it gives them and the ability to view what they have spent on the mobile app. As a parent I have peace of mind in seeing what they spend as well and ensure they free from fraudsters. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
