Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Fantastic free resource

5
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

My Starling account and Kite Space

5
My Starling account and spaces are all very easy and intuitive to use and very helpful having the Kite space for my daughter. She was using one of the other kids' online accounts but this is much easier (and free!1) to manage and to transfer money. She has her own Kite app to manage her account as well which she finds easy to use. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

stolen card

5
we had an issue with my daughter card... Somebody stole it from her bag. I was able to see a transaction straight away and because at that time she was with me I knew for sure wasn't her using the card. I asked, as a double check, if she did spend the money in that shop (yes I can check where the money have been spent) any other day to excluding a delay... I blocked the card then and there and was she could check her wallet (she had left it at home that time), the card was not there so I cancel the card with customer service and they sent me a new one, in the post, in less that 4 days. FANTASTIC customer service. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024
