Starling quickly became my favorite bank and for a good reason! The user interface is incredibly intuitive both on the app and website. They have real-time account updates so you can see exactly how much you spent and when, as soon as the purchase was made. Since I have dyscalculia, a learning difficulty around numerical values (to put it simply!), this feature makes it feel a lot easier to navigate Starling compared to other banks which may only reflect purchases days later. It might sound like a small thing, but it's helped me to budget safely while avoiding issues like spending money I don't actually have! Even more than that, I really love the spaces function which lets me pay my bills directly from the space. It means I can immediately make sure that essential spends and bills are covered and I only see the amount of money I have "leftover" for the month on the main page. At the same time, the actually pretty good monthly interest rate applies to the cumulative balance across your account, even if it's divided into spaces! There are no monthly fees and as such the value for money is fantastic. I can only recommend this bank! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Jin, thanks for your review, this was really lovely to read. We're so happy that you're enjoying the app and banking with us! Thanks for the recommendation too. Team Starling Response date: 2nd June 2024

Starling's euro acc great value for travelling

Having a Starling current account and Euro account is really useful, . both for travelling and for transactions with my European lodgers. Transferring funds is easy and the exchange rate is the best. You only need one card, which I have on Google Pay, and you can select whether you're paying in sterling or euros on the app. Excellent! Reviewed on: 29th May 2024

Seamless App Experience

Always a seamless app experience, notifications are fast and clear, unobtrusive use and current account delivers all of the features I would expect from an account in this day and age. Never had access or service issues either. Reviewed on: 28th May 2024
