I switched to Starling early last year and I've loved banking with them ever since. I couldn't imagine banking with anyone else now. Their forward-thinking account and app features really set them apart from the traditional high-street incumbents. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Regret not having moved over to Starling before 2020. So easy to manage my accounts. notifications sent when direct debits are due & immediate alert sent to my phone every time a purchase is made. The separate spaces to save money is genius. Also being able to personalise account makes it fun. Can’t fault it. Love it! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
