Best way to save for different things

5
Starling makes it so easy to save for different things using Spaces, little individual money pots. Adding a title and photo to each space is a great incentive and reminder to put money in each week. I especially like the fact that your spending money is kept separate, making it easy to see what you have available, without dipping into your savings. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Refreshing Banking Experience

Refreshing Banking Experience, started off with current account and then opened up a joint account which was very easy. Instant information about spending is a real winner. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking how it should be.

5
Fantastic bank with slick easy to use app. Brilliant inventive features which stand it out. Most high street banks are starting to catch up now which is great. Much preferred to monzo or similar as it has proper banking features such as an overdraft or loan function. Really great cant recommend enough. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Brilliant Banking Solution

5
An amazing option for those looking to travel (no charge for transactions in foreign countries) and brilliant for that little bit of saving on the side with Saving goals easy to set up. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
