Hassle free bank

Best bank I’ve been with, always handy getting notifications on when money is due and when money is coming in and out Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Safer banking

5
I love my Starling account so much. I have no need for a physical bank branch so app banking is perfect for me. 1 of my favourite features is that I get a notification before each scheduled payment & after each card transaction. Feel so much safer than with my previous bank against fraudsters. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
