Finally braved moving away from the standard high street bank and I'm so glad I did! The app is amazing, I love being able to split my savings in to pots and a I love how it reports my spending in to merchants and categories, giving me a simple, clear view of my finances! The switch from old bank to Starling was all done following a few clicks from me and when I contacted them via live chat with some questions they were quick to respond and give me all the info I needed. Delighted with my new bank account, thank you Starling! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
