Great feature

Great for kids to learn about money management Reviewed on: 12th February 2021

Getting kids to understand finance

Cash is no longer king post covid. The old ways of learning about money don't work any more. Really good that Starling has launched a kids account. Much better to learn from a proper bank rather than gaming / crypto. Reviewed on: 2nd February 2021

Incredible user interface and customer service

Always there to help and I can always find what I need Reviewed on: 24th January 2021

Brilliant Banking

Easy to contact, good customer service and very informative. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Teaching children about money.

Starling banking app, allows me to easily put money aside into my daughters bank account. She regularly sees how her money is growing with each deposit and this is a great way to make her easily understand how important money is. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best Kids debit card

Great facility in lockdown to enable the kids to shop online/ or not ( you have complete control). Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great for kids

My son is travelling by train to school The kite card has been a fantastic addition to his travelling and expenses during the day. The only down side is that there is no app for the child to manage their money which i think would be the perfect addition to a great service. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Very pleased

Very pleased with all products & services from Starling, business & personal, but specifically want to mention the new KITE children's account facility. This has been an excellent addition to the product portfolio and enabled me to provide a simple card account for my 11 yr old son, easy to set up & manage & cost effective at £2 per month. Fantastic, thank you Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
