Great for kids and parents

Got this card/account for my 10yr old to earn pocket money. She love it. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

Easy to use, but could use a Kite App

Easy to monitor expenditure and add money when required. Even possible to have others pay to that account. One drawback is that my child can't use an app for payment so has to carry a card. As anyone can attest, getting a teen to remember bus pass, house keys, phone AND card is a challenge! Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

We’re still very new to Starling Bank but so far, so good. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
