Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3120)

This has been the best idea for my children!

This has been the best idea for my children! It couldn’t be easier for me to manage and gives them the freedom to learn how to use banking safely with my support, but in a grown up way. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

A happy switch!

We switched to starling from gohenry as there was no monthly fee, so all of the kids pocket money goes directly to them which is great. It’s easy to transfer money over, bit for us and for any relatives who want to send them a money gift. And it’s great getting notifications when they use their cards so we can keep an eye on their spending, and make sure they’re not getting scammed online. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

My daughter loves the freedom of having her own card.

My daughter loves the freedom of having her own card. It enables her, from her young age, to learn about money management. SHe can see how much she has saved & can also track her spending. As a big family of 6, the fact her kite account is free is fantastic. Every penny is counted in our household & every penny saved does add up! My daughter’s Kite account makes her feel a little more grown up. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Great basic account for children

Great basic account for children. However it lacks one thing, the ability to create a saving space. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Excellent account for kids

Kids were very happy to have their own debit cards and it's free too. The only kids bank account that is free and issues debit cards to 6 year olds too. Most others only issue cards from 11 years, or charge you. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
