Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

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

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
