Awesome Digital Bank

From start to finish Starling has made it an awesome experience in transitioning to the new world of digital banking for me. It has turned my life around for the better especially someone who is recovering after having had a breakdown. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

game changer

5
Helping me make better choices, I can clearly see my spending behavior. I have cut back on all those coffees and eating out, I had no idea I was spending so much. On a regular contactless debit card you just tap, tap, tap... Starling makes you think about your spending habits because you get a message in real time and can see your spending for the day. Love the spaces to save, especially love that you can add pictures to the spaces as an incentive to save. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Easy and efficient

5
Easy set up, immediate use. No fuss. Practical banking with limited checks so not so risk averse. Rating based on use of the product with limited restrictions initially, but starting from a position of trust. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
