All in the app.

Starling does everything a normal bank does with the addition to a super clever app. The app has so many features which just make life so easy. Real time notifications for money transfers, immediately change and monitor security of card and you can always see how much you have spent and on what as soon as it happens.

Has made my life so much easier!

Being English, but studying abroad in Italy the ability to have a card which holds both currencies in separate accounts is unbelievably useful. Especially after my previous mistakes of losing lots of money on conversion rates! Also, being a student, I love the way the starling app automatically groups my spendings (eg food, rent,etc), this feature has made keeping on top of my spendings so much easier! I couldn’t fault a thing about this bank, it really has transformed my life! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Love the Spaces

Starling Bank has made managing both my money and my disabled adult son’s money so much easier. I love the spaces, or goals, for putting my budgeted amounts of money into each month, so when I want to book a holiday, or buy clothes, I can instantly see whether I can afford to or not. It has revolutionised my finances. The instant spending alerts give me so much piece of mind. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simply stunning

It seems impossible to me that a bank can be as great as Starling without charging the customer loads of fees. Yet here they are year after year with tons of features that even the main high street banks don’t offer. Starling bank is by far the best bank in the UK. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best bank ever full stop!

Best bank ever. I’ve still kept my old traditional bank accounts. But rarely use them. Starling bank is perfect in every way. The app is great and customer service is spot on. Well done to everyone involved. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
