Simple, straight forward and LOVE the savings spaces facility!

5
What's not to like? No monthly charge, cash deposits at the post office, one tap transfer to my family's Starling accounts, can "hide" my savings in dedicated spaces within the app, great link in Marketplace to other providers meaning I can see my pension and my ISAs on my banking app, plus a parallel Euro account that uses the same depth card..... will be perfect once they allow me to set up a Dollar account too (sadly only available to business users at the moment but I'm hopeful!)

Best bank ever.

Customer service is absolutely fantastic. The app is so helpful and easy to use and I’ve never had a bank with so many useful features (instant notifications, categories, spaces, round-up, and the balance/spend ring). I couldn’t speak any more highly of Starling, and their customer service is second to none. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
