Easy to use

I have 2 child accounts attached to mine, they are easy to connect and very easy to use. The cost is just £2 per month per child account, so very reasonable. I can see exactly what they are spending and where. I can also choose where they can or cannot spend (online ect). Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Great banking experience

Never had an issue. This product is a must have. Love it. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Best current account

I love starling. Most of all for ease of use. Transfers are super fast. Literally seconds. I can organise my spending, goals and pay my bills all through my pots. It’s just the coolest banking app. Best thing is I can send my son money in a second. And while using his card I know exactly where he’s been shopping and how much he has spent. Only thing is starling don’t do personal loans. Just the current account. Which is fine if you don’t need one. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
