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

Our experience with Kite has been first class, it's easy to chat with a human when needed, it's free, and so easy to control, so you always know how much is in the Kite account, what's been spent, how much is going in on a regular basis, spending limits etc. Reviewed on: 14th April 2024

Straight forward easy to use . Great way to teach children money management skills safely. Value the ability to vary spending allowance and to be able to switch off account if the card has been mislaid by forgetful teenager Reviewed on: 14th April 2024
