Highly recommend.

Highly recommend. Works great for me and my teenager. Would just love to see a card reorder etc from their own space as can only do that with a call instead of using app like main adult account Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

So handy having my account and my child’s on one app only negative is you can’t give details for other people to pay into the account except Google or Apple Pay. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Easy to setup account unlike the high street banks,...

Easy to setup account unlike the high street banks, which are closing everywhere. You make the whole experience so far a breeze! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Perfect introduction to money management for children

Easy to set up both personal bank and children’s kite. Provides children with the knowledge and responsibility of money management but without the cost of many other. So easy to control the limits - I can adjust them depending on how much I want to allow them to spend. Notifications keep me up to date on their spending. They also enjoy having the app to see their account Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Super bank.

Super bank. Outstanding value for money Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great for kids, easy to set up.

Great for kids, easy to set up. Recommended to 4 of my friends for their children. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Switched to Kite from another provider

Switched from another provider to the kite card as it is fee free and much better value for money. I love that there is a free savings account also available to allow my daughter to save as well as spend. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
