Starling puts you in control of your cash.

I love how easy it is to track what you spend. As soon as wifi or data is on my phone beeps to let me know how much i have spent. Control over how i want to use my card ie. Online shopping, contactless etc. Lost your card...no problem stop it being used simply by opening the starling app on your phone !! LOVE THIS BANK SO MUCH. I feel like i have control of my finances.

Star Service

I have been so happy with this account since I opened it a few years ago. Everything works as described and is user friendly, even for those of us in the bus pass generation. Being able to pay in Euros while on holiday is a massive plus for me. I have converted 2 family members to Starling and both are grateful for the heads up. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Have a second card topped up with £200 to lend to friends and family so that they can help out with shopping. It's been really useful during lockdown. A great idea! Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
