All the benefits at a fraction of the cost!

Starling Kite helps my son be independent but also allows me to monitor his spending. All for a fraction of the cost of other options. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

I love using this bank. The only negative I have had with them is small annual limits for paying cash into the account. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Very good bank

Is very good bank and is safe I can keep my money Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Best bank by far

Having heard little about starling I set up an account 12 months ago. Very simple and straightforward and it's been transformative in terms of my financial planning. With saving spaces I've been able to budget better and save much easier and the savings spaces for my 3 kids witg their associated apps have been amazing. They love watching their pocket money save up and I'm able to closely monitor all spends which gives me confidence about where they are if out with friends etc. 10 ouf of 10 and I've recommended it to about 4p people (I'm not even paid commission) Reviewed on: 4th February 2022

Everything everywhere
