A great app that gives parents instant updates to their children's saving and spending. The WhatsApp link makes it easy to share with friends and family who wish to make a contribution to your child's account. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great banking app!

Very easy to use. Kids have their own card and app. It also notifies you when they've spent. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

The Perfect start for your children in money...

It allowed me to set up the accounts for my daughters, which in turn enables them spend pocket money, etc as well as providing a great insight into the world of money. They are also able to track and check their balances, as I am too, and budget. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

We love Kite cards.

We love Kite cards. My son can use it for busses to school and it's so easy for him to spend in a controlled way. I get the notification. I can get him to buy me something and just transfer to his kite. Love it! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Excellent way for kids to learn good financial habits

Kite kids space is a great way to allow kids to have a debit card and no fees is brilliant. Would like to see Apple / Google Pay supported in the future. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
