The greatness of starling bank

5
From the moment I downloaded the starling app (after I'd read all the great reviews online) Starling was so easy to set up and easy to use. The layout of the app makes it incredibly user friendly and I have found the email updates informative and helpful. Great bank. So glad I switched! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Super easy and fast account

I have only just joined starling bank, I needed an account which I could use easily for when I go on my honeymoon to USA later this year. I was very surprised at how quick I could sign up, how easy the app is to use and I love the notifications which comes through so quickly when a transaction is made even when using chip payments, it’s instant. I can keep track of my money. Looking forward to using my account more in the coming months. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Very impressed with this bank. Everything you could want in a bank. Easy to set up, great app, instant adjustments and notifications of your spending, analyses your spending, very quick setting up of "piggy bank" spending accounts, that Starling call "spaces" that you can goals for.
