Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3120)

Teaching responsibility

We’ve found the children’s account to be very helpful for our 7 year old. We’ve had a Starling space for his pocket money for a while, but this makes it so easy for him to check how much he has, and be able to save and spend and learn to be responsible with his money. Thank you Starling! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

The kids were desperate to have a card of their own and feel a bit more independent when spending their pocket money. The kite spaces were perfect and it allows me and then to keep an eye on their spending. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Game-Changer

Simple to set up. Easy to manage - Great to see my little goblins take more control over their spending and begin to recognise the value of things Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great for children’s card and sharing link for deposits, but not the best interest rate on the market Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

My son loves it and so easy to use

A great service. Really easy to use. Gives my son some independence with his money but all overseen by me. I can easily move funds from my account to his. And it's free! Couldn't ask for more. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Brilliant first bank card for my child.

Brilliant first bank card for my child. It’s great she can have her own card and see how she uses her money to learn about managing money, and I have total visibility and control. Can’t believe it’s all free with my Starling account! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Does not support Apple / Google / Android Pay

Fine for in-person transactions if your child has their card with them. But without support for on-phone payments, I cannot recommend. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
