They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

User experience is front and centre

It was so easy to open my account with Starling. I had initially wanted a joint account with my husband for our food shopping, as the instant updates to the funds mean that I don’t have to do a reconciliation of the spending later. There is also more detail on who spent what and where, which just makes life a bit easier. He’s had an account with them for a while with no complaints. To open the joint account, I needed to open a single account first. I’ve made this my spending money account and it’s working really well. They’ve made the whole process so easy and I love being able to do what I need to do with a few taps on my phone. Would recommend Starling to anyone who wants instant oversight of their financial situation. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

I wasn’t into online banking and resisted for several years. Until I was introduced to Starling Bank after my mother died. It is so intuitive, easy to set up, innovative, and easy to navigate and gives you all the information you need at a glance. Really enjoy using it, zero frustration which can’t be said for many online businesses! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
