Amazing app

5
Since switching to Starling last August, I've been so impressed with the app and the level of information it gives me. All set in a clear, up-to-date format. I also get the heads up of payments that are due to make sure the finance is in place to pay. It all feels very safe too, but without the faff. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
