Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3117)

Quick and easy setup and great user experience

Overall great experience in setting up the app and using it and now my 13yr old is a big fan of it as well and maybe a future customer for Starling :-) Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy and clear to use

Excellent banking. The app makes it really clear and helps you manage budgets Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great app, great two factor authentication and control

Good app to use, easy to stay in control of money and the spaces functionality is both intuitive and useful. The app works perfectly, provides reassuring cover for two factor authentication and both I and my daughter have had a great experience in using it. To be recommended for those with younger children wanting their first bank card and introduction to managing money via an app. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Child Friendly-Adult Happy

I have tried the other children's bank sites but found them far too complicated and expensive. Starling simplifies everything. Making the app easy to use and child friendly. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Just Brilliant

So easy to arrange and set up! My 12 year old is becoming money savvy and with the app, she can see when she's earned her pocket money, keeps track of her spending I wish these had been around when I was her age! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

perfect

very happy with the service. The app is perfect, the flexibility is amazing, really happy being able to give my daughter some financial freedom whilst knowing I can see what's happening if I need to. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Excellent all round

Easy. Clear. Modern. No fuss. I love the app and so do my kids. Best by far. I use a number of banks & the others seem arcane by comparison. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Kids love it

The kids and i have loved the kite cards! So handy snd helps teach them financial independence. They have the kite apps on their phones too for their accounts. I have already recommended starling to loads of people, even teachers at school have asked my kids about it Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Great first steps in to money in the digital age.

Having reviewed a few options I chose to go with Kite for my daughter. It allows a safe way to introduce her to the topic of managing money in a digital age. It allows both contactless and can be paired with a mobile which was creitical to me as these are now common and expected features. Finally the app is straigh forward and simple to use. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Easy to use, easy to manage

Starling has been fantastic, the app is fully featured and doesn't try to sell additional products. I have a kite set up for my daughter (9yo). Having a contactless card that looks like a grown-ups card gives her a real feeling of independence and still allows me to track her spending and manage her account. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
