Leaving Traditional Banks For Dust!

5
Honestly, I've always hovered between distaste and disdain, and absolute disgust for banks, having used multiple high street building societies and banks. Then Starling came along; "here we go again, but maybe it's worth a try", I thought. They are blazing the trail in literally every aspect, and traditional banks will need to quickly catch up or be resigned to the history books, in my opinion. 95% of the time I know the money has left my account/card before the merchant does, the customer service is flawless, the ability to see and be in true control of my own money is something I've never experienced before. That on top of allowing me to separate my money into "spaces" (like little pots of money) and do round-up saving, seeing easy lists of all my direct debits, reports on my spending, and everything else. I'm not exaggerating when I say they have changed my attitude towards money, but being able to properly manage my money has changed my life. Kudos to everybody at Starling, they deserve every award and recognition, and I pray they continue in this direction for the future. The first bank I've ever thought actually deserve any interest and profit they make. Love these guys! Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
