Easy to set up and manage finances

4
A Starling bank current account is so easy to set up and I find the app very user friendly. I am able to keep tabs on my finances as everything is visible and I can send payment requests via a secure link. There are no monthly service fees and I especially like how during the pandemic they created the Connected card to enable someone you trust to access your account in order to make purchases on your behalf.
