Faultless

It's been so easy using starlings current account. I love the ease of the app, the intuitive controls and the tracking of what you've spent where. It makes me think more about my budget and allows to control it far more effectively. One of the best things about it is the savings spaces! I save small amounts from each purchase without even thinking about it! Reviewed on: 9th February 2020
