Amazing children's account!

The feature of banking, incredible product thats easy to use, customer service that care and make a difference. Starling is in a league of one and it's the champion of bank. Reviewed on: 7th January 2022

Easy, Visibility, and simple

Great to start my 3 kids with Starling. Give them visibility of their pocket money and the ability to spend online and in store Reviewed on: 7th January 2022

Amazing!!

Well, we have four kids and two of them are currently using their Kite cards and WOW! Honestly, they are amazing!!! The ease of use is fantastic, the set up and usability is effortless and the detailed analysis of spending is SO helpful to budget!! Reviewed on: 6th January 2022

Poor for price

The Kite account is a great idea with good parental control. However lack of a kid’s app, no interest, account fee of £2 per month make it poor value at the moment. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Needs Apple Pay support and an app

If I had an app and Apple Pay it will be pretty much perfect as it allows the account to be used by the child without telling them the balance and having to keep the card at all times. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Perfect Balance

As a parent the kids feature allows the perfect balance of controlling how much my child can spend while simultaneously giving them the freedom to spend how much they want. You can even set up specific stores to prevent your child from blowing £40 at McDonalds for example Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

Feel safe

Great idea........................ Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
