Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

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

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
