Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

I'm really happy with my experience of kite.

I'm really happy with my experience of kite. The application for the kite space and card were quick and simple, and the app works really well. My daughter is also really pleased with having her very own bank card, but I don't have to worry about what's happening, because its actually account, and I have full control!

Very easy to set up and use! Recommend

Very easy to set up and use! Great features and I love the fact my daughter gets her own card and pin to use as she pleases, this has helped her understand money and saving up to get things she wants. Reviewed on: 16th April 2024

I only wanted an account so I could use Garmin pay then I discovered it had so much more to offer, Kite being the best feature for the family. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

Easy to set up - very easy for my children to use

Easy to set up - very easy to use - my twins really love having their own debit cards and I can exercise control if necessary. They get pocket money and rewards for doing well with their studies and this really motivates them and it is really helpful to be able to turn off their cards when they misplace them (generally around the house!) but its all part of their learning experience about banking and money.

Best free account for teaching kids the value of money.

My 11 year old daughter had a GoHenry account before, but it charges you. Starling doesn't. Completely free. Also the process of adding funds from my Spaces is easy. Simple to use. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024
