Great online bank

5
Never had any issues with this bank. The app has everything you need to manage your finances with cool features being added all the time. There’s no better card/account for travel either. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Innovative and practical

5
I/we use Starling for both individual accounts and a joint account. It's way ahead of the others particularly with its 'bill management' and straightforward account updates. No temptation's to go into the red either. You just can't! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Great product for banking

Best bank

5
It really is the best bank I have ever used. I love to be able to see when mime is due to strive in my account. Get notifications every time any money goes in or out. Love the spaces so no need to open a separate savings account. Great customer service as well. What's not to love Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Helps with peace of mind

5
I love Starling, dealing with them is really easy. Their Spaces feature is invaluable and makes it fun to save money, and I love the round up feature. This has enabled me to save for Christmas without thinking about it! The notifications about transactions and reminders for the next day are helpful too, it lets you know immediately and helps you keep an eye on your account to make sure there's no fraud, and is brilliant when you're paying with your phone using contactless, you know immediately if the payment has been processed or not. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Best bank around

5
Remarkably easy to setup a joint account, just tap phones together and the app does the rest! Really like the notification feature where you are told ahead of time what payments are coming out and when so you never miss a direct debit Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

What more could you ask for from a bank
