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
