Modern day banking

5
From opening the account with a few clicks and short video to switching my antiquated bank account to starling it has been ... brilliant. I could have switched my account elsewhere for £175 cashback. I opted for starling with no cashback because the features, the functionality and the ease of use has been outstanding. I used to deal with all the money, my wife never touched the online bank account. With us both having the app its put my wife back in control and added value. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Having my starling account was my first experience of online banking, had been putting it off for a while now but needed to keep up with our changing times , I am so impressed at how simple and straight forward the app is designed. One of my favourite things is it gives me a notification of any transactions immediately, which makes it simple to manage my account. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
