Good bank

Simple but genius options!

I love all the options available in my Starling account. I particularly love Spaces. The ability to cordon off money for different reason/projects/savings without having to have separate accounts is brilliant. So useful. Thanks Starling for thinking about the way the everyday person deals with their money! Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

The simplicity of the account is refreshing, the use abroad is incredible the exchange rates are exceptional no need to take CASH. As a more mature person I found it easy to adapt to online banking this way and I will be migrating more business in the new year, now that I am happy with my test drive.
