Never had so much control over my money in 50+ years of having a bank account/s. Interest paid on everything, great. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Future facing

5
I love this bank! The “spaces” help me save for annual expenses and treats, the request payment facility makes it easy to remind mates to pay up when splitting a bill and I can download my statements in no time. Starling does everything a traditional account does and more. It puts me in charge of my money and has helped me become financially independent and debt free! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple, fast mobile banking

5
Simple, fast way to manage money via an app that has primarily been designed for mobile banking in this manner. You can tell it’s not a high street bank or telephone bank that has tried to shoe horn itself into an app. as an after thought. When I’ve used the help facility response has been quick & simple. It’s also great being able to set up sub folders/spaces to help save towards specific goals. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
