Love Starling bank and all its services and features, my children love the independence and how easy it is to use, they can check balances on their own app. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Much better than high street banks

5
My children wanted their own debit cards but my high street banks would not open accounts for them online. The appointments offered to open the accounts were 9-3 Monday to Friday, during school hours! Opening a Starling account was easy, I initially wanted it for using abroad but the added bonus of Kite spaces has made my children really happy too. The apps are easy to use and navigate. I have also set up saving spaces for the children too. Everything about the Starling account and Kite spaces are easy and uncomplicated. Well done Starling. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
