Amazing bank

I’ve been with Starling for two years and have opened current accounts and Kite accounts for my kids. Everything has been superb and has encouraged me to manage my money better using the Spaces function. The kids love their cards and are learning to manage their money from a young age. The most impressive thing about Starling is their customer service. I have never waited longer than 4-5 minutes to speak to somebody and have always had my issue resolved quickly. Thank you for an amazing banking service Starling! Reviewed on: 16th March 2023
