Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

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

Swapping to Sterling was my best idea of 2021/22

Brilliant and great value

Are you a Skype for both of my children who are old enough to have some money responsibility.
