Excellent for Children

I love the way I can keep an eye on my child’s money and spending through one app and account . Great idea Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Fantastic & easy to use!

This app & idea has been absolutely fantastic. It’s helped teach my daughter the value of money and she even saved up her pocket money to buy herself a laptop! Thanks for allowing me an easy way to see what she’s spending & allow me to teach her the value of money. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Cheap and easy

Kite is a cheap and easy child's card space. It can be controlled within the starling app and there is a children's version of the app for easy control for them as well. I tried go Henry but I wasn't as impressed, there were a lot of fees and it wasn't easy to move money around Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Efficient and smart - everything you want from a bank

Starling seem to have put customer convenience back at the top of the banking priority list. The app is clear to use, reliable, and let's me do everything I need to help my child manage their money. I love the flexibility and security, and my child loves the independence that Kite gives them. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
