Very likely

5
It’s the best bank for using it in abroad. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Goals and Visibility of Spending

5
Recently joined Starling Bank from HSBC and the visibility of your spending is brilliant. The goals option is great and rather than having to setup a new account it remains as part of your balance, amazing. Another thing for me is that being semi rural there is a distinct lack of banks in our local town so Starling being online only is great as well, with the option to deposit at Post offices which is 2 miles away.

Great, modern bank

Finally, a bank with a cool interface which is reliable and has all the modern features people need. Instant payments, round up of payments, simple savings accounts. You really do not need a branch to do banking these days. You can pay cash in at post offices and send cheques through the post! No more queues in depressing banks - woo hoo!
