easy to use banking app - brilliant

5
I opened a Starling current account in August 2019 using their so-easy-to-use banking app. It was a doddle to get set up and use - simplicity at its best. The finger print login is fast but very secure. The best feature is the instant text message confirming the amount you have spent. This it is very reassuring and mostly eliminates the need for a printed card receipt. The breakdown of total spend is also useful. The interest on any balance, whilst small, also comes in useful and I really value the low charge and excellent exchange rate when using my Starling card abroad. Opening my Starling account was probably my best banking decision ever. Thank you Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
