Very Transparent Banking with Good Innovations

5
Since I have started using my Starling account I have been impressed how transparent both notifications on my smartphone (for spending and incoming amounts) and next working day "look ahead" is; I had the former with another account provider but the Starling system just seems a lot better and easier to use. Similarly the ability to split a bill and "IOU" others is a complete game changer especially when dining out or similar. This and their approach to overdrafts and how Spaces (designated amounts that are "set aside") work with the overdraft are great innovations that I did not realise I wanted until I started using the Starling current account. I am currently considering switching my business banking to Starling simply due to the strong performance of their personal account as well as a Euro account as my partner and I take most of our holidays in Europe.
