Intuitive smart account that removes money anxieties

5
Have been using Starling’s current account for about 3 months and it’s been so... calming! I know where every penny is going - or about to go and realised I overcommit to many things. The Goals element remove so much hassle and worry about budgeting. I have been rather evangelical about this account and have been recommending to work colleagues, friends and family... brilliant product with smart features. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Everything is so easy.

5
Imagine being able to open a bank account from your own bed! That’s how easy this was. The goal option is great and whilst it’s not a huge draw, it makes a nice little pit over time. The instant notification is always great and the app itself is clear, concise and simple to use. I can’t recommend this enough. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Does what it says on the tin! Easy to control your own money Reviewed on: 12th January 2020

Works really well and super easy to use

5
Love the app from the sign up process to actual daily use. Super easy and intuitive. The spending categorisation is really useful for knowing where and what you are spending your money on. Also there are ultra low fees for making foreign payments and withdrawals are fee free. Was a bit hesitant signing up but now a love it and they can teach the old baks a few new tricks. A very happy user. Reviewed on: 12th January 2020
