Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Everyone’s happy

The children love having their own card however I think it’s great as a parent I can still see what they’re spending. The kite links are really good for birthday money from family they’re simple to use. The kite space is totally free unlike other apps like go Henry that charge you for using them. Overall this is an amazing product that really works 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

A little more finesse needed

The user journey to set up a “space” for a child account could be smoother. Other than that we have not had any issues. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
