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
