Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Needs Apple Pay support and an app

If I had an app and Apple Pay it will be pretty much perfect as it allows the account to be used by the child without telling them the balance and having to keep the card at all times. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

So easy to set-up and use to use!

So easy to set-up and use to use! Great that you have the same transaction info as per a regular account. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024

-order Kite spaces are pretty good.

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

Love Starling.

Love Starling. It helps me budget and keep my account safe. Customer service, not that I've needed much, is amazing and not based in another country. The app is so user friendly and great to look at. Very efficient and I like the live notifications and bill reminders. My daughter has a kite card too which has been brilliant in giving her financial freedom when she's out, while I can still track her spending. Reviewed on: 13th April 2024
