Great independence for my son, with appropriate transparency for me

Love the experience for my 13 year old as well as the ease in which i can help manage his account, transfer in/out and adjust controls e.g for online purchases, even temporarily when useful. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Perfect childrens card

We have two cards under Kite and it has been the easiest to manage for both the children. Brilliant way to learn how to budget and save. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Simple to use

Simple to use, move and transfer money easily. The kids love it Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

The freedom of a Kite account

The Kite account has helped my child learn about managing their finances, giving them freedom, whilst being able to keep an eye on what they are doing with their money. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great for kids

My daughter has already grown confident with spending and budgeting Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Next level banking

I’ve had business and personal accounts with Barclays for 20 years. When I went into my local branch at 2.30 pm on a Wednesday afternoon to open a current account for my 15 year old daughter, blinds were drawn on all of the tellers windows and it seemed completely empty. After five minutes a woman appeared and asked me if she could help. When I told her what I wanted she said I could make an appointment for 3 months time to actually speak to someone. I went home and set up a Starling account for me and a Kite account for my daughter in less than an hour. We’ve had no issues at all. The high street banks are completely behind the curve. Well done to Starling. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Starling Bank is star-bright

I have used Starling Bank for a few years now and can not recommend them enough. I have literally had 0 issues while using them and their app makes banking so easy and has helped my children learn about money buy setting up their own mini accounts inside my account. Great work Starling Bank Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
