Two kids, both on Kite, no issues with them spending where they shouldn't be, full visibility for me and best of all its free! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Excellent children’s account

The account was initially charged but as I have a starling account it is now free which is fantastic. It was so easy to set up and use. And my daughter loves that she can have her very own app to view her balance and see her transactions. I think it’s a brilliant way to get children informed about finances and learning responsibility. I looked at other children’s accounts but decided on starling as it seemed the best value for money and is so easy to manage. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Best Childrens account I have found

Really simple to set up. It is linked to my account which makes things easier, There are no fees and no restrictions on transfers etc. Considering you don't expect to have to pay fees for a bank account with a card as an adult, it was refreshing to see one for children without ongoing fees and restrictions. Have found other Childrens accounts had clunky unhelpful apps whereas this one is simple to navigate and my child doesn't feel like a baby with the card. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
