Love this card and so does my 11 year old, especially as she had a version of the app too! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Customer Focused Bank

Starling listen to customers! A few years ago I suggested a children’s account and they said other customers did too- then they launched kite! My 11 year old has her own debit card and her own app but I can control and see everything from within my app. We can see the pin when she forgets, lock and unlock the card, set limits and she is learning how to handle money- starling are also easy to get in touch with - super!

Just excellent

I have set this account up for my son, it is easy to use, I can transfer money, set spending limits and see what he has purchased. Whilst he is still getting to understand how to manage his money this has been really helpful. The app is great for him to be able to keep tabs on what he has available to spend.
