Kite Account Super easy to set up.

Kite Account Super easy to set up. My kids love looking at how much their pocket money is in their account and I would say it’s actively encouraged them to save and be more conscious of money and that it’s helping them to form good money habits. I like that I can control the spending amount too. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

I started banking with Starling mainly due to a Florida trip, having found that my own bank, the wife's bank and our business all had charges for using a card overseas, whereas starling don't make any charges and all transactions are at the daily interest rate, hats off to starling, having then received around £5 in interest for having my holiday money in the account for a month (what a pleasant suprise) I decided going forward to pay my company dividend into the starling account and since then I've set up a yearly saver and two kite spaces for my children (8 and 10) although they behave more like 14 and 18! The kite space allows them to have their own money and also let's me see where, when and how much they spend which helps the children to learn to be responsible with their money. all in all it's been a positive experience and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend starling to any and all.

It's so easy to set up and easy for the kids to use.

It's so easy to set up and easy for the kids to use. They love being able to see how much money they have and what they have spent it on. They feel so grown up being able to use their debit cards in shops too. It's a great children's account and I earn interest every month just by transferring money to my account to put into theirs!
