So many features. Transparent banking. Spaces to save are amazing. Much easier to budget, save and have an overview of spending habits. Money management made simple!! Everyone should have a starling account! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Your bank in your pocket

My daughter recommended Starling Bank to me when we were out for dinner. She showed me some of the features of the app, like sending money to others easily and the notification every time you send anything from your account. This is a bank that encourages budgeting by making it easy and almost intuitive. The 'spaces' areas which act as piggy banks within your account, allow monies to be ringfenced for savings or for paying bills, so that it's easy to see what's left as spending money'. The budgeting tools which show you what you've been spending your money on can be an eye opener at the end of the month as every transaction can be categorised. Being able to set your own contactless limit to one below the general amount is very useful, especially if it's otherwise a bit too easy to spend without thinking. I'm finding myself interacting with this bank account more than others because of the insights it provides, which, when you should know exactly what's going on with your money, can only be a good thing.

Great bank, constantly innovating

Starling is a breath of fresh air compared to the old guard banks. Easy to use app with frequent enhancements. My only reservation is perhaps the security is falling behind best practice. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Efficient, quick, informative and people friendly

Have been enjoying the almost instant access to spending, balance info, not to mention the convenience of being able to personally lock and unlock my card. Many facilities still to be tried out. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
