Brilliant bank

Starling’s app is so easy to use, and really easy for kids to manage their own spending whilst allowing the parents to have oversight. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

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

Great for the boy

Wanted to stop having to give money and not be able to track how much my son had been given. It is great for him to be able to go to the local leisure centre and beep himself in. Regular weekly pocket money means if he runs out that's up to him to budget. Also I can quickly add money if needed. So easy to set up and a fair monthly subscription charge. I recommend kite.
