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

Kite spaces are pretty good but I had to re-order a card as my daughter lost her wallet and unlike the main account, couldn't just re-order a card which seems a bit odd. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

Kite for Kids

A great way to introduce your children to card only payments. Secure and simple to use. It allows me to set a limit and monitor their spending, whilst allowing them a bit of freedom and autonomy. Great product, it streamlines perfectly with my starling main and spaces accounts! Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
