Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3121)

Outstanding features

The app is full of amazing features in the palm of your hand such as paying bills directly from a savings space or specifying a particular direct debit to be taken from another one. I love that I can set up a weekly transfer of pocket money into my daughter’s kite space and that she has the app on her own device to monitor her own savings and even buy things online or outside using her own bank card.

Kite card & App for teenagers is brilliant!

Having previously used another banks card for my 14 year old then I came across Kite through Starling Bank, a quick change over and the easy App process so he can view what he has and how much he is spending a great life skill for money management. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Kid's need to learn about money too!

It is so important that our children learn about money at an early age. Starling has got the right formula to get them excited about money management. No other bank comes close! Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

The kids love it!

It's such a great app experience for kids and the way they learn to manage money is simple, interactive and engaging. Reviewed on: 13th January 2022

Innovative product

Excellent product that introduces young people to finances. My son loves it Reviewed on: 12th January 2022

Simple for kids & parents :)

I have 2 kids (age 11 and below), they both love their kite cards and the app. They can watch their spending, see how much pocket money they have saved and I am able to set limits via my app. All very easy to use! Reviewed on: 11th January 2022

Amazing product

I have found the kite account to be so helpful! It’s really allowed my daughter to manage her spending and she hates carrying her pocket money. Since this account, it just goes straight into the space and she can spend how she likes. It’s great it gives her access to the app to see her balance, she’s clearly aware of what she’s spent and how much is left. It’s good it’s connected to my app as I can essentially monitor her spending. Reviewed on: 11th January 2022
