It was my daughters first ever account and she still uses it now. It is properly made to respect the child and provide all the features for an adult. Its almost as if Starling got parents and kids opinions when they made it. Wins for me every time! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Some fantastic features, excellent customer service and an intuitive app that has helped me save in various pots for things that felt out of reach before I had a Starling account. Now my children use it too and I couldn't be preparing them better for the future. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

5
The starling kite account is excellent, it allows me to control my children’s spending whilst giving them freedom. We can discuss their expenditure and choices and I can intervene if I see a problem. With 3 kids at different ages, I’ve recommended the app to lots of parents who have done similar. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
