I switched to Starling in November 2020 and have been very impressed with how everything works. The app is so user friendly, easy to navigate and impressively displays each months spending. Having instant notifications on iPhone for every transaction is very good too. Very satisfied customer! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Very current for today’s market, great ideas, innovative. I like it! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Efficient and hassle free banking!

Switching to Starling from my old bank was a breeze! Starling do it all for you. I can now move money easily, and instantly, between accounts. The 'spaces' are great for short-term saving (eg Xmas fund), and being able to categorise my spending helps me to budget throughout the months. All online, so no tedious and expensive call center calls either! Fantastic! - a word I have never before used to describe a bank! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant account
