Account works perfectly for my son.

Account works perfectly for my son. Not many businesses make things free after originally charging for it, especially banks, so full credit to Starling for the little extra help. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

My Experience has been good so far, Kite works well.

My Experience has been good so far, Kite works well. Only gripe is that the cards which are associated with Kite cannot be used with Tokenised payment methods such as Apple Pay or Android Pay. But the children just carry the cards when they might be needing to pay for stuff Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Teaching responsibility

We’ve found the children’s account to be very helpful for our 7 year old. We’ve had a Starling space for his pocket money for a while, but this makes it so easy for him to check how much he has, and be able to save and spend and learn to be responsible with his money. Thank you Starling! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

The kids were desperate to have a card of their own and feel a bit more independent when spending their pocket money. The kite spaces were perfect and it allows me and then to keep an eye on their spending. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
