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
