I am so pleased that I joined starling.

I am so pleased that I joined starling. it’s so convenient and easy to use. My granddaughter loves having her own bank account card to be grown up and pay for things herself at age of 7. it’s connected to my account and she gets weekly pocket money from me for doing jobs around the house. Teaches her the value of her money Reviewed on: 15th March 2024
