Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

No Fuss Easy to use Kids Account!

We have tried many other kids cards and the Starling is the best. Instant transfer onto card including over the weekend. The other card available from another company you have to wait till the Monday as no transfers will show at the weekend and they charge you a monthly fee. With the Starling kids card they can manage themselves via the app and ask family and friend to directly transfer into it! Again with no delay. This card is brilliant in every way.

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

The fun freedom your children need.

So easy, my son loves the freedom he is now given and it is so easy for people to now treat him by just being able to have a link to put money straight in his account. Me and my son are really enjoying this account. I have recommended it to lots of people. Reviewed on: 15th April 2024
