Taking away the fees for having the account was the best thing you could’ve done 10/10 Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Absolutely fantastic

5
Kite is great. Your child gets a card which teaches them not only to control their money but also to look after a bank card. It's been fantastic for my daughter and I'm so glad I chose kite over any other account. I definitely wouldn't go anywhere else. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Fantastic free resource

5
It's been fantastic to provide my son with a chance to see his own money from chores at just 6 years old. He's so excited to have his own debit card! It would be even nicer if he could earn a little interest. And also assign his chores in the app. But it's free so that's the main draw! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
