To be fair I was somewhat sceptical at first, but that soon gave way to awsomeness! Everything is so easy to understand and without any of the hassles that some high street banks cause you, I have used many over my lifetime. The notifications of upcoming credits and actual indtant payment alerts make it easy to track my money. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Mobile Excellence

The big differentiator between Starling and the big banks is that the Staring App was developed specifically for mobile use (as opposed to other banks where the mobile app is a front end to the legacy system behind it! They've found innovative ways to leverage the unique qualities of the mobile to make banking so much easier and function rich. Just two more words - Go Starling! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

I have four accounts with Starling - one personal, one joint, and two business. They all provide a very easy and effective way of manging the money, with immediate push notifications on the phone, easy and accessible payments and immediate updating at all times. And even a cheque depisot facility - not that I have ever used it! It's how banking should be in the 2020s Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
