Hassle free travel

Have just come back from the Eurozone and it was great that my card took money straight from my Euro account and then switched back to Sterling when I got home. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

So easy to manage finances

5
The unlimited 'spaces' functionality means I can keep on top of my budget for the month and reach longer term savings goals through having several pots of money. Being able to quickly, efficiently, yet securely add new payees and authorise payments through the app is very handy, especially for splitting bills or sending friends money for my share of something. Starlings communications are easy to understand, friendly and welcoming and I've been 100% satisfied with service since opening my account. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

User friendly

5
I've been really pleased with Starling. The app is very user friendly with notifications of updates and new features. I like the 'Spaces' part which allows me to allocate money for savings and bills etc, whilst allowing me to dip into those pots in emergencies. I loved the snowglobe effect during the winter, such fun! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

There when most of the banking industry wasn't

I opened my account during one of the COVID lockdowns; my previous banking provider was being massively unhelpful, well absent really, after I had redeemed a current account mortgage. In desperation I turned to Starling and after a year am very glad I did so. Setting up the account was very simple, service responses (password resets) are quick, the account functionality is just what I need, nothing more and nothing less. IMO it is just what you need a current account to be simple, efficient and well supported. I'll never voluntarily return to the legacy banks. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
