Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

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.
