The best bank for me

5
I love Starling and recommend them to anyone who listens. I was for a long time looking for a bank which will be able to notify me instantly how much money was spent and where, for every single transaction or income. Where i can categorise my spending to make my budgeting easier. It has nice layout and it is very user friendly. They made it even more amazing by ability to open Euro account, as well as Joint account for my partner and I. I should not forget the option, to put money aside for whatever you need 'space'. I love that feature. I bet there many more i am forgetting. But Starling definitely deserves an award. I am with them already few years, and still one very happy client. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

so easy to manage money

5
the starling bank account and app makes managing money so much more easier. I have struggled with online banking previously, choosing not to use it. Starling has been amazing & I feel like I have more control over managing my money now. Easy to apply, set up and use. So happy Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Super Customer Focused Banking

5
Simple, clean and 'relevant' interface. Regular developments that add real value with self-serve at the fore. Can't rate it highly enough. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

In Control

5
There is an abundance of options and tools to help me stay in control of my money. I especially like the feature that allows me to create a separate space within my account. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Banking for the 21st Century!

5
Really impressed from account opening - Very simple and only took a few minutes. Love the app - So easy to monitor spending etc - The app notifications mean I’m always aware of incoming and outgoing payments, and it’s so simple to transfer money! Especially like how quick and easy it is to authorise online payments in the app without needing a card reader etc. Have recommended to anyone who will listen! Also appreciate being able to pay in cash at the Post Office instead of travelling to town centre of old bank! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
