Really easy to get started and really easy to keep using!

5
Financial management of Starling is really intuitive and easy to put into place. As a person who want to keep track of everything, from saving to spending. It have been really great! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Simply A Joy

5
Starling bank “just gets it”! The app is super friendly to use, intuitive, gives me the authority and power to make adjustments how and when I want. More importantly it is extremely stable as well. I really feel in control of my money with Starling. I have another account with a high street bank and I always somehow feel that they think they are doing me a favour by letting me give them my money. You almost have to ask for permission every time you want to do something but Starling just trust that you know what you you want and need from your account. It is also sooooo refreshing to deal with a bank and its app that isn’t continuously trying to sell me other products. I don’t think I have ever had to contact Starling with a query or complaint because everything just works how it should first time every time. The other banks could learn an awful lot from Starling but they have let them steal a march which will be incredibly difficult to catch up from. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Seamless App control of your money and all related financial needs - "simply the best" experience I've ever had in banking to date Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Accessible, ethical, easy to use and great way to save.

5
I wish I'd switched to starling years ago. I am disabled so can't easily access banks in person, which so many depend on. I love starling's ethics and accessibility, and the app is so clear and easy to use. I love that I can round up to add pennies to my savings, it's making a real difference. I'm finally in control of my finances. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

A game changer

5
My partner made the switch to Starling some time ago but I had remained with a different bank. When Starling launched the Bills space I was sold and made the switch there and then. I've not regretted it for one moment and it's definitely been a game changer for me and managing my spending. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Easy to use with useful, ever evolving features

5
Easy to use app with functionality that is both useful, such as separating out cash into 'spaces' and linking direct debits to these (e.g. bills), and which is always developing. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Great bank account - everyone should have one!

5
Just so easy to use. I love the fact I can put money into multiple saving spaces without having to open another account. Also having the bill section where money goes in each month for my bills when I get paid and then I know the rest of my money in my account is mine to spend is amazing! I don't have to spend time thinking about what is to come out of my account and how much I have for the rest of the month. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
