Starling Bank Under 16s card reviews (3124)

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
