Fantastic

5
It's so refreshing to be with a bank that's so flexible. It keeps of track of what we spend on certain items such as eating out, bills and totals that all up. But we can also see what we spend and where. I would highly recommend Starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Banking as it should be

5
I was recommended by a friend and I’m so glad they did. This feels like how banking should be in 2020. No onerous manual paperwork, clear communications throughout the switching process. Hassle free and thoroughly modern! Not had to receive a letter or speak to anyone yet. Any communications was handled brilliantly by the messaging app. It’s been a revelation to see my spending shown in such an easy to digest way. Some insights were a little surprising! It’s also really easy to save money with the multiplier function. Overall I’m super impressed. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
