Starling Bank Kite Childrens Account reviews (3120)

Starling is simple, quick, secure & cost free overseas

Starling make the opening of an account for your child quick and easy. They can then use their card with ease and you can monitor their spending. When they turn 16 upgrading to their own Starling account is again quick and easy and if you have any questions you can access assistance swiftly. That you can use the cards overseas without any additional costs was a game changer for all of the family so now I have a Starling business account too! Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

A kite account helps build confidence in using a card and app to manage pocket money. Having overall control as the parent is extremely useful, kind of like using dual controls in a learner driver car. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

AAAAA***** service !

AAAAA***** service ! Very easy to manage! Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

Starling is a bank for the future.

I use the Euro account and kite facilities on Starling and they are both exceptional. Kite gives my daughter a taste of financial independence but still giving her adequate protection. The Euro account is extremely competitive exchange rate and as simple as using your card in the UK whether you're in a shop, bar or restaurant or you need to get cash out. There are no hidden charges, starling is a bank for the future. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024
