Easy online banking

Easy to use online banking - clear breakdown of spending & where. Linked saving pots help manage money & now get interest on funds in account. Helpful advice to manage day to day finances. Also very useful linked Euro account that is easy to transfer money to/from at a competitive rate. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

Starling is an excellent choice of bank!

Starling is an excellent choice of bank! The online customer service I've received has always been very helpful and efficient. I love the layout of the app, everything is so easy to find and use, and the saving spaces actually encourage you to save! The incoming and outgoing payment reminders and notifications are brilliant. My husband and I both have our own accounts and a joint account and I can see us staying with Starling for a long time to come. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024

A very user-friendly experience using Starling and always able to get good quality help when needed. I especially like the 'savings' areas within the main account - it makes budgeting so much easier. And the ease of use abroad with no fees is great. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024
