App based banking. Not the first to do it but certainly the best! Customer experience is great, you know where you are, how to do it and puts power in the hands of its customers for savings pots, split cheques etc etc. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Made managing my money fun

Love using starling and I’m saving more than I ever have because of the pots. It allows me to budget effectively throughout the month by transferring the right amount into different pots for commuting fare (when no covid), diesel (ditto) music lessons, groceries, books and music allowance etc. I feel so much more in control than I did before. Love starling! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
