Streamlined My Attitude to Saving

Easy to set-up, with a very intuitive app. I was surprised by how easy it was. The card is minimalist and eye-popping. I opened the account to see what all the fuss was about. In a few minutes I had set up a ‘rainy-day’ goal with round-ups to ensure that any regular spending contributes to my savings. I am impressed my the simple terminology and user-friendly interface. This was a trial with my personal account. The next step is to switch my joint account to Starling, so we can both embrace open banking. Reviewed on: 11th January 2020
