Superb bank. Life changing

5
The immediate notifications give a sense of security- as does the ability to freeze the card. The app is superb, you can see which categories you have spent on and use the goals to save - I also use them to budget by using goals like the envelope system. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Straight forward online set up

Recommended by a friend, once I had set up I soon found out other people I knew had Starling Bank Accounts. The whole package is great for me, I have used my card abroad with no problems. Its also easy for paying in cheques, no more queuing at the post office! I have already recommended to friends. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Quick and easy to sign up

It was so easy to open my account, with words that are ‘non-banky’ - making it user friendly. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Low Interest Rate

I like that the low interest rate and the fact that there are no extra or hidden charges Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Easy and hassle free

Starling have made the process of opening and operating an account hassle free. The app is very good and well laid out with clear information. It offers all the features I need that would normally require using a standard web interface of my old bank. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020
