Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Amazing and Simple for Children!

What a great way to teach children the importance of saving and spending money. My children were so excited to have the reasonability of their own app and easily understood the security and information that came with the card. I will recommend to any of my family and friends who are looking into accounts for children. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Starling kite soars high

Cannot recommend this app enough. It is helping my daughter to manage her money learn about value of money. She is able purchase things while out without having to ask me for money. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy to use

Everything you could want. Already teaching my child to be responsible and the app is so easy for her to use. I did a lot of research and this is the most cost efficient and safe bank I could choose. It was very easy to set up and very easy to manage Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

It just works

Having fought with a high street bank trying to sort out a bank account that actually gave my child proper access their money and failing, the kite account was a breath of fresh air. It just works and gives my teenage son access to his money when he wants and me a thorough oversight of it. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Sons account

The level of protection Starling gives to children is fantastic and the fact I control everything helps my son learn the value of not over spending. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Brilliant service

Great convenient service for my young children. Very easy to use. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

What a great bank

I’ve just moved from First Direct and I’m really impressed with the level of service and quality of the app! The kite card and transaction splitter are awesome. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy to use and manage

The kite accounts for my kids are a convenient way of getting them used to managing money (without risking losing physical cash behind beds, drawers etc). Having a contactless card has also allowed them to be able to buy online and adhere to COVID restrictions Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
