Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

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

Teaching Responsibility Without Stress

Being able to quickly alter withdrawal amounts, monitor spending and transfer makes Kite a really valuable tool..from school lunch fund to treats my 12 and 9 year olds love their Kite cards as do I! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great

My daughter loves it, and it’s easy to manage from my app Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great banking for kids

My son is too young for his own debit card, so the Kite Card feature of Starling Bank is great. It’s the reason I switched to Starling. I transfer his pocket money into his Kite Card space and I can view and control what my son spends on his debit card. The kid’s app is so easy to use and is teaching my son how to manage money in a cashless society. I can’t recommend it highly enough! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Simple and effective

Using the app to help the children think about money, and give them responsibility to look after it themselves is a real game-changer. The fact that there is easy and effective control over that money, makes me as a parent a lot more confident. I don't need to worry about lost cards and tears about money going missing. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy to use and keep track of money, my son loves to see how much is on his account and the fun pics you can add to it makes it great for him

Simple and easy to use

My child and I love the financial independence Kite provides. They can see exactly how much they have in their account and I can apply spending limits if I need to. It’s really easy to use and makes me feel I am in control, much like the main Starling app. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
