Review of the Starling Bank, Under 16s card:

Straight forward easy to use .

5
Straight forward easy to use . Great way to teach children money management skills safely. Value the ability to vary spending allowance and to be able to switch off account if the card has been mislaid by forgetful teenager Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

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

Amazingly easy

Such an easy set up to organise my child’s ‘space’ and manage their monies. The fact the Kite card is a proper card and not just a flimsy plastic card like other children money services, makes Starling Kite stand out from the rest Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
