Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Easy to use for parents and children

My daughter loves having her own account and managing her money. I love having an overview and the swift notifications when she uses her money. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Excellent!

Best banking app overall, easy to use, great for children, my daughter loves it highly recommended Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy, hassle free

It’s an easy hassle free way for me to give my children money and monitor how and what they are spending their money on Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Simple yet Effective

Kite gives you control, and your child freedom, and understanding, what more do you want Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Good product easy for kids to use

Loved the new app my child can download on their gadget and check their spending. Makes a good start to managing their money. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

So easy to manage

Kids love the simplicity and being able to see balance in their own app, whilst I have full control over the account. They have the freedom to shop responsibly. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Best bank ever

I love the starling kite childrens account. There is no account number or sort code, so you have full control of the account from transferring money to adding daily spending limits on your child’s card. Although it charges you a £2 a month fee for the account I wouldn’t be with anyone else. I just love it! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great app

The app is very clear and simple to use, and it's great that my daughter can have her own app to track her balance rather than texting me to ask every time! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy to use & dependable

I have both a personal and business account with Starling so Kite was the obvious choice for a kids account. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Amazing customer experience

A bank that truly understands the customer needs today Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
