Simple, safe, and crazy-easy

Everything that I expected would be hard, has been made as simple as possible. Everything that is shoddy in other banking apps, Starling have somehow nailed, reliably. My experience with Starling means I'm not going to tolerate rubbish from other banks any more. Fully, totally, happy with their concept, execution, and service. Reviewed on: 16th March 2023

Simple and effective

5
The banking system for children is great. It’s linked to my own do I can easily check what’s being spent by notification direct to my phone. It’s also easy to check the status while logging in to my own account rather than Ravi v to go into another account. It’s speedy and efficient. I love that you can apply spending limits to the card.
