Life changing money awareness

5
Not only does Starling enable you to manage your money in a way that's not possible with traditional banking, it brings you instant awareness on your spending and saving. And that feels great! Starling also offers you a calm, clear and intuitive user experience. To go with Starling is the best 'money awareness' decision I've ever made. I can't rate it enough!

Easy, informative, helpful

The app is easy to use and navigate, gives you immediate information about payments and money received, and should you need assistance you can get it immediately via the Chat feature or for less urgent issues by email. Really pleased I switched. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple no nonsense banking

Used as a compliment to my FD current account for saving and spending when abroad, particularly like that I can set up "Spaces" for individual savings goals. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Changed the way I bank

5
Since opening a Starling account in 2020 I've found the whole experience of managing my money so much easier than with my previous banks. My partner and I have a joint, current and business account, all of which we've switched to Starling as it's been so good. The app interface is amazingly designed, and the way it's set up makes it easy to save and create pools of money, achieve financial goals and manage spending. Couldn't recommend more. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
