Used for years on and off, but soon moving over

5
I've usually used Nationwide and Halifax to provide my banking, while topping up my Starling every week or so to live off of. However, features such as realtime roundup saving and spending notifications not only help me save money without feeling it, but also help me actually spend less - a welcome relief for a working student! I've recently set my workplace to pay me into my starling account and will be soon moving everything else over! Reviewed on: 2nd February 2020
