What’s a KiteLink?
KiteLink is part of Kite: our award-winning debit card and app for 6 - 15 year olds, managed from your own, adult Starling account.
It’s a unique link, connected to your child’s Kite Space. When switched on, it allows anyone with the link to send money straight to the Kite Space.
Just share the link with whoever is planning to send money. They’ll be able to send money using their card details, Apple Pay or Google Pay. It’s perfect for birthdays, holidays, or a little helping hand from the grandparents now and then.
