Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Kite features disappointing compared to adult app

Great features for adult and 16+ accounts. Presumed my 14 year old’s kite app would enable him to have spaces too so he can save for different things but unfortunately I can’t see that feature so will need to look elsewhere. Reviewed on: 19th February 2025

Reply from Starling Bank Hi there, thanks for your review. We appreciate having spaces on the Kite app would be really helpful for them to organise their funds. We'll certainly get this raised with our product team. Feedback like this helps us improve our products and our accounts. Team Starling Response date: 24th February 2025

The fun freedom your children need.

So easy, my son loves the freedom he is now given and it is so easy for people to now treat him by just being able to have a link to put money straight in his account. Me and my son are really enjoying this account. I have recommended it to lots of people. 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
