Only had one issue where my son lost his card went on chat dealt with quickly and effectively. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

The app has every child control you need

The app works really well - so much better than my other banking apps - and the Kite settings/ controls are everything I could need. (not connected to Kite but I love the fact that Starling works with Garmin pay.) Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

It’s free!

It’s free! I can move money and oversee my kids accounts as they’re apart of my bank account under “space” section. It gives them the independence of managing their own money using a card and app but with mum or dad’s close eye. Fantastic. Also let’s not forget the link, I can send a link to family and friends for simple bank transfers, perfect for birthdays and Christmas. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
