Starling Kite

I have been a Starling bank customer since the beginning and have recommended to many people. Their children’s Kite account is fantastic. I always know what my 10 year old has spent his allowance on and can top it up very simply within the app. Brilliant idea! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Top mobile app that helps you many the childrens finances!

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

Simplistic yet great

Set up Kite account for child, brilliant as linked to my account, I can keep track of his spending whilst he feels in control and independent with his app on phone and card Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

So easy for my 6 year old

My 6 year old loves seeing his ‘pocket money’ in his account. And it stops me having to buy everything for him! He is learning how to save for the things that he wants, a great life skill. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Best bank ever! Lifechanging

Amazing bank, I manage to save money and be so organised. Also the kite works fantastic with two teens, help them save money and I feel safer knowing they haven't got cash to lose. Also so simple to quickly transfer them money for those emergencies that teens have Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
