I used to be terrible at managing my money but since moving to Starling I have had problems. By far the best bank I have used in over 30 years of banking. No troubles when abroad either. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best for students

Ability to manage everything from the app is great - the way expenses are organised is even better. It's uniquely easy to open an account, and I've had no serious issues since joining Starling more than a year ago. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
