Review of the Starling Bank, Kite Childrens Account:

Kid's need to learn about money too!

It is so important that our children learn about money at an early age. Starling has got the right formula to get them excited about money management. No other bank comes close! Reviewed on: 14th January 2022

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

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

Moved from matwest for kite amd really wnjoying it 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

Pleased as pleased can be. 5 star
