Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

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.
