The most perfect and streamlined banking app I have ever had

5
I found it extremely easy to apply and open account and normal day to day nanking is so easy ! Literally at the tap of a button! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Quick, Simple and Different

5
I signed up on a Wednesday afternoon and next morning my Starling card appeared in the post. I started using Starling for all my transactions and there is a great summary showing me where I am spending money (lifestyle, groceries etc). I also like that I was able to open a Euro account so I will be using this when I visit My house in France. Conversely my main account with a legacy bank really provides only basic information. The future is Starling! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

This was so easy to setup and get going. The security is reassuring and service is very good. I love the options for 'spaces' where you can automatically save towards a goal. I would recommend Starling to anyone looking for a refreshing change. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
