Great, both my kids have the starling kite card and they love it. My only 'even better' would be if my 13 year old could have it on her apple pay. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great to teach kids money management

Got this while there was still a charge but paid as wanted to start teaching my son about money and wanted him to have some independence, love its now free. Its easy to use and manage as mum and also easy for my 11 year old to use. He loves having a card to use and I feel he will carry the account forward to his adult banking life.
