Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

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
