The Best Bank

5
After being with a few different high Street banks for years I switched to Starling. Starling is leading the way with banking online only. The app is easy to use, everything you need is at your fingertips there's no need to call or go into a branch. Being able to have all my money in the one account and using the spaces feature to save money and put money away for bills is grate. Both me and my partner have a starling joint account aswell and it's so easy to transfer money between accounts and save money together using the spaces feature. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great bank for online purchases

Great little bank to have for online purchases. The app is really intuitive and get prompt alerts to any spending/transactions. I like the direct debit reminders too. It is the little things that make the app. I can’t work out when you get paid interest or not. Not sure if I would use as my full time bank yet. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
