Changed our whole management of money

5
Having struggled to save any money each month Starling has change our life. Cashing cheques through the app, depositing money at the post office and real time updates of bills and payments has enabled us to manage our finances and start to save. The ability to set up little saving pots too is a great way to split what we save towards different goals. I have now moved all of my accounts to Starling and wouldn’t consider anyone else Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Easy banking

I originally started a Starling account so that I could use Google Pay (my bank wasn’t supporting this service) and I’m blown away by how good Starling is! I love the “Spaces” feature where I can save money for various things in nice easy to see pots. I also think the round up feature is brilliant for saving without you noticing. Superb bank for saving!

Friendly, Secure Bank

5
Starling provide secure online banking that is very user friendly. With many conventional banks walking away from their customers with branch closures Starling give the impression that they actually care about people. If you are happy to just do your banking online then give Starling a try. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021
