The kite account is so easy for me and my son to use, I can see what is being spent and can top it up as and when with real ease Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Putting the customer first

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

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

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

Excellent card.

Excellent card. We have a current account and also a kite card for our daughter which is very easy to use. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

I love that fact that the account is so easy to use.

I love that fact that the account is so easy to use. My son can see his balance in the saving space on my phone and can use his own card to buy things. It's a great introduction to money in this digital world that we are in. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

It is a great bank option, I was interested of the Kite and decided to open an account because of that, I still struggle a bit when moving money from my other bank to Starling and get requested too many times for the password. I was on a trip recently and trasnfer some funds to Starling and Monzo, for Monzo it was a matter of seconds, for Starling it took two days to clear out the funds. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great service

Really pleased with the experience overall, service is great and so easy to use the app Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
