Best bank and financial software for everyday banking Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Banking done properly

5
Starling have put a lot of thought into their app. The whole banking experience is so much simpler and better than traditional banks, who are miles behind in terms of even understanding how the world works now. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Supportive

5
Just an all-around great product. It feels up to date, and the services easily help me easily see where and what I'm spending on so much that I mostly retired my separate budgeting app. It doesn't get much better than this. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

spot on for holidays,and everyday banking Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

It just works

5
This is how a banking app should work. It's fast, flexible and works in a way that feels natural. I'd like to see customisable categories, but am sure that will come in due course and does nothing to reduce my 5-star rating. Combine this excellent app with a bank with ethics and what is there not to like! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Great app & overseas life saver

5
Starling has a great usability, clearly and concisely communicating all the information you need to know. On top of that using it abroad is a dream! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

A really easy switch from Santander and everything is at my fingertips all the time Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
