Banking for the digital age!

5
Starling bank has so many simple but great features, it makes you realise how behind the times traditional banks are. I wanted more insight into my spending without having to rely on manually updated spreadsheets etc and starling has delivered that and more. All the app needs now, for me, would be budgeting and it would be perfect! Reviewed on: 1st February 2020

Great Challenger Bank

Starling’s great—easy to set up, it’s got a great UI, there’s plenty of smart ways to control your money. And, as opposed to similar banks providing this kind of services, it’s not embarrassingly “millenial-friendly”. Would definitely recommend it and have done so already! Reviewed on: 31st January 2020
