Keep an eye on your spending and save

5
Switched from a high street bank to get one with an app that helps us keep an eye on spending and save for a holiday. It's helped us be far more careful and we've got a pot saved towards a holiday later in the year. Would only choose these as they are a proper bank that is underwritten by the FSA just in case.

Brilliant

Innovative. Connected. Modern life compatible banking.

From the very clever use of tech in setting up an account, through to its daily use I am loving my new Starling account. So easy to use. So stylishly presented in the App, but crucially makes looking at my money interesting! Not something I thought I’d ever say. Really worth giving this a go. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Best Bank I Ever Used

Everything by Starling works so well and feels very human, while remaining competent and trustworthy. Setting up and using my account was really easy. I applied so that I could use the bank card abroad, hassle free, and will consider switching everything to Starling in the future. The app is superb and communication is excellent.
