the Bank of the future

With Starling Bank you can see a live report of your spending, get access to the best looking banking app as well as budgeting tools and much much more! For me Starling Bank has been the crown jewel in getting my finances in order in a new and fresh way. But it doesn’t feel modern! It feels futuristic and once your finances are ready for the future, so are you. The bank of the future is here and it’s called Starling Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Fantastic

Superb bank account, easy to see and control your finances, with optional overdraft, at your control. Absolutely love it. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Best current account app there is

My Virgin One account has served me well over the years but now the mortgage is paid off, I was looking for a fast, easy-to-use, app-oriented current account that would allow me to classify and analyse my monthly spending against budget in much the same way that I used to do on-line with Virgin (sadly Virgin do not offer anything similar after your mortgage is redeemed). I looked at everything that is currently available (e.g. Monza) but Starling is the best offering by a country mile. Most classifications of my spending are automatic and accurate first time round but it is simple for me to reclassify if I have a particular reason to want to change it. Notifications of transactions are instantaneous by text (I can feel my phone vibrate in my pocket the moment I make a card transaction). 10 out of 10 in my estimation. I could not be more pleased.
