Go Starling Bank!

The Starling Bank App makes my life easier and helps me keep my finances organized. I know that all of my expenses for the month will be categorized into different areas of expense. I can tell when I have spent too much on a certain area in a month, e.g. shopping, and need to be more prudent in that area. It also helps me know how much I need to budget for each activity for the month, e.g. for groceries or transport. Overall, I love using Starling Bank and the Bank App. I cannot imagine using any other bank while in the UK for my studies. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Much better than my local bank

5
My local bank was starting to add loads of extra charges for everything and asking for me to take time of work and come into the branch to "get to know me better" Im far too busy for that rubbish, if the want to talk they have my address, so opened an account with Starling to see what it would be like, and im loving it so far. Have no transferred most of my banking to Starling and will switch the rest soon after im sure iv'e everything running sweet Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Banking for 'Modern Times'

5
We tend to carry our phones everywhere these days. Starling bank always goes with us too. It's app is well designed & intuitive to use. I like the budgeting tools very much along with the monthly summary. The saving spaces are very helpful in setting aside money, removing the temptation to spend it! Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Great Bank, great customer service.

Easy to use online bank, that makes budgeting and paying bills so much easier, you know exactly wants coming in and out. The Spaces feature is brilliant for this, plus if you are trying to save you can round up, so when you spend , the extra foes into your savings pot, genius. Highly recommended.

A hand in hand experience

Starling Bank, has been the best bank I could’ve gone with. These past 2 years have been so insightful to the way my money is being managed. The app features that were helped to be produced from the constant connection to the users, allows there to be a great experience where communication is established and everyone gets what they want. It makes money management really easy, it’s an accessible and convenient bank. The layout for the app also makes it easy to navigate and there is always the chance to call or receive help.
