Great that they get their own space, with a debit card for withdrawing cash and making payments online, but all visible by me, and with good controls. They get their own app, so they can check the balance at any time. The only real drawback is the lack of functionally like direct debits, for example for paying a mobile phone bill. Also I have to manually pro-rate interest payments. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Both my 11 and 9 year old use kite to manage their money, it's a great way to introduce them to banking and money management. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Kite space is great.

Kite space is great. My 8 year old is learning the value of money by having control over his spending. Family members have access to his link to drop pocket money in when earned, making it easy to keep track of what he has to spend. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Kite accounts for my young children

I have Kite accounts for my daughter (11) and son (10) who receive a monthly pocket money allowance. It is helping to educate them on financial management and is extremely easy for them to use. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
