A money revolution.

Love Starling. Love their approach. Love their transparency. Love, like really love, the UI and experience of the app. Love getting interest on in-credit balances. Wish they offered a different design of debit card for joint accounts; I’d move our joint money to them if they did. Wish they offered a Credit Card with a perk like 0.5% cash back. Wish they offered a Cheque Book. Reviewed on: 26th January 2020

So easy to use the app, card set up was so straight forward, better for people who can use Internet, though, the app is easy to follow and everything you need is there in front of you. Card arrived withing 2 days of initial set up. Would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 26th January 2020

Simple, effective, great app and control. Easy to see where the hard earned pennies all go and also to save money too, something I'm not very good at! Reviewed on: 26th January 2020

I love how simple yet sophisticated the Banking app is. It makes the process of sending and receiving money much more easier compared to other banks. Reviewed on: 26th January 2020
