Love the ability to save the change and have multiple pots. Switching over was easy and the tagging helps me see where my money goes. Very secure with authorisation using phone app when making new large payments online. Love being able to freeze my card when I have misplaced my wallet in yet another coat.

I opened a Starling account after experiencing difficulties with my previous bank. It was quick, easy and entirely problem free. When asked for feedback, I requested that the app be available in landscape view. It was done within a couple of weeks. Excellent service. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

I’ve recently switched to Starling from M&S who are closing their current account. The whole process was painless, very efficient, and my new current account is easily managed by an app. So far, I’m very impressed and delighted to have switched to Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
