Starling kite

This account is brilliant to teach you child how to save money so easy to use. I am account holder with starling and it's great. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Simple, easy and great access

I have been a member of starling for a few years and fully rate them - the app is brilliant, and they’ve always been so quite to reply to any queries I’ve had, so I added my son as soon as thought he was old enough. It’s been great! He can log in and see his own balance and yet I have control of the account. He’s got the independence he needs to really become ‘good’ with money! Great work starling! Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

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
