Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

quick, simple, easy

5
from joining starling, i have understood how they work. I must say it is the easiest bank i’ve ever used, ( starling where have you been all my life). If only banking was always this simple. I have two cards; one for each of my two daughters, i can manage their spending, online and shops, i can see what their balance is, add pocket money with ease; band the best thing is when they lose their card(s), the help service are brilliant with replacing it no hassle, no fuss. As i said above easy. It is cheaper then most kids banks out there ( i only pay 4 pound a month for both cards), and i intend on getting another once my son is old enough. Want my recommendation? Get a starling card for you and the kids it will be best thing you ever did. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

The best online banking by far

Everything your high street bank can do and so much more, and so easy to set up and use. Keep a track of your child's pocket money and their spending, while they enjoy learning about banking with their own account and card. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
