The overall ease and access to my account and I information is amazing. Easy to sign up too. Love the strive to evolve in the digital age. Couple of niggles here and there but nothing that would stop me from recommending Starling. I was nervous to move from a traditional branch based bank but so glad I did. Never looked back.

Easy mobile banking!

5
As a millennial, this is my first and only bank, so although I've not had the chance of experiencing any other banks and how they work, Starling has risen and exceeded all of my expectations. It's easy to use and everything is available with a single tap. The app is always there when I need it, and instant notifications on spending is a huge benefit, giving real time insight into incoming and outgoing payments. Starling also makes it easy to save with Goals, and I've got a neat little pot of savings that I never touch due to this incredibly helpful feature. Starling is not just a bank to me, but my 'best-friend', so much so that I trust it with all my finances Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
