Highly intuitive. Constantly improving the features. Impressive. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Swapping to Sterling was my best idea of 2021/22

Starling in general is so easy to used but the Kite card for the kids is the easiest way to manage money for them and their spending. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Brilliant and great value

Are you a Skype for both of my children who are old enough to have some money responsibility. It’s a great way of teaching them how to spend their own money and allowing them to understand its value and how to handle it. Lots of controls and really easy to understand highly recommend it Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

It's great for the kids but you have to pay.

This is a great product all my kids have a starling account the 8 year old loves the freedom of her card and the 14year old loves that she can go on her phone and track payments and see balance. The only thing I don't like about this is the mthly payment. Ok it's not a lot but with cost of living keep going up the people who can't afford it will never be able to enjoy this great product. A great product but for the well off and I feel that starling has missed a trick but not allowing it to the mass, and alot more customers. Great product but at a cost. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

My son loves it

It’s a great account, my Son loves having his own card and being able to pay with it. It’s easy for me to transfer money in, and I can see what he’s spending on. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
