My Starling account and Kite Space

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
