Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Great for the boy

5
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.

I have the kite account for my four children its easy to use for them with their own app so they can see how much they have saved or spent. Easy to transfer money to them and for me also to track their spending habits through my starling app Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Best bank ever used for both myself and my young son. I was recommended to Starling by my friend, and I recommend them to everyone I know now. Even my elder children use the bank now even for their business accounts Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
