The best bank I've used in 30 years.

I've had an account with Starling for almost two years. I could never go back to a legacy bank. Starling have changed the way I save, changed the way I spend and changed the way I budget. I have much greater control over my money and the app is a revelation. I can do everything I need to do right from the app and on the very few occasions I had an issue back in the early days their customer services were fantastic. If things continue bloke this I'll never need to change banks ever again. I set up my account whilst on a ferry to France and was using my new Starling Account to pay for fuel via Google Pay within days before returning to the UK. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
