Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

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

Extremely useful and easy to use

I find the app extremely useful and easy to use.The fact I can track my child's spending on the go change limits if I am worried block things without having to question my child I can the check the app. It have given me the confidence and my child to be able to bank easily Reviewed on: 15th April 2024

Financial Education

We have 5 children and 4 of the have the kite. Its amazing. They can use their cards anywhere. I love the restrictions on age restricted items and I also love the verification notifications. They have full control over the amount they wish to spend and are very conscious of how much things are. So much so, they have even noticed the price hikes of their favourite sweets etc. They also think its astronomical Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

Really easy to set up and create a space for my daughter. Easy to transfer extra money and love the link we can send to family when they want to give her gift money. The alerts when daughter spends are fantastic to let me know what's going on. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024
