Great kids account

Perfect for my 11 year old. Really easy to set up and use and I feel it’s great value. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Convenient and functional

A safe place for kids to take their first steps on their financial learning curve Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Brilliant for kids

I use Kite for my 15 year old and have done for over a year, before he progresses to his own bank. I wanted to be able to view his transactions & help him be financially healthy. Kite gave us everything we needed to do that and he has loved having his own bank card with his name on. Fantastic service that I will use for my 4 year old when he’s old enough. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Very user friendly for kids and parents

Kite is a really helpful app for me to track my kids' spending - and they like that they can check their balance before using their debit card too. Also much more cost effective than other options, as there's no 'per transaction' fee, but rather a low monthly fee. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

The Best

The Best Bank Worldwide Easy To Use and More secure Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Transition of financial responsibility

It is more important than ever for teenagers to understand the value of money. Using Kite has given that freedom to my child yet allows me as a parent to guide them with their financial transactions. Yes! £4 is too much for a hot chocolate!!! :) Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

So natural

My child just got started with the Kite card and I can already sense a change in maturity and understanding. Worth it! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
