My Starling account helps me manage my day to day finances more simply. It does more than other accounts I’ve used but is very easy to use. The account opening process was a joy and the ability to manage spaces / pots, manage bills, make payments etc is very useful and intuitive. When I’ve needed to contact them about an issue the in app process has always been very responsive. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
