The best bank I've ever used

5
I've been recommending Starling to my friends and family as the best bank out there. It's easy to set up, easy to use, everything can be done in the app, friendly support available 24/7 to answer any questions. If there is an issue (which happens very rarely) it's resolved promptly with regular updates from the customer service. Any new features added are generally made with the customer in mind. Some if the highlights for me personally are the spaces, the connected card, and the euro account (plus the ability to use the same card and switch within seconds if money is taken out of euro or gbp account). The transactions are visually easy to check over and the spending by category is helpful. It's like both a great banking and budgeting app. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just no words to describe the brilliance of the app and the whole service.. i have transferred my accounts over and managed everything without the need to call customer service. .the card locking controls from the app is the best that no other banks can offer...
