Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3123)

Helping the emerging generation to manage money safely

Starling bank kite children’s account has allowed me to give my 3 children supervised and safe financial responsibility. It teaches them about money and managing their own money from a young age. They can see their balance and enables them to see when their money goes up and down as they spend and save. The icing on the cake is that there is no monthly subscription fee. I really can’t fault the kite children’s account it really is a wonderful feature Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

Great account easily managed for both parents and child on the apps. Linking the accounts means that the child gets to learn to use banking apps at a a younger age. No monthly fee was a bonus too. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

I am a Starling customer having switched approximately 2.5 years ago. I have to say the experience has been faultless and I am very happy I made the decision to bank with Starling. My son has a Kite account and he loves it. It makes him feel very grown up and the parenting controls on the app are very useful. Very happy customer. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024
