Warm Fuzzy about Starling Bank

5
The Starling Bank app is the most user-friendly of any bank I’ve ever used. It’s structured in such a way that I know where my money is going 24/7 thanks to advance alerts before payments are due. I can make instant transfers to family etc And the Goals section encourages saving, with the option to keep loose change left over from transactions for a rainy day. Icing on the cake is female founder Anne Boden, as banking with a woman-led business gives me great satisfaction that I’m supporting equality and women in leadership whilst taking good care of my finances. Here’s to a secure future! Reviewed on: 15th November 2019

I've been with starling for almost 2 years, being with them has made my life a whole lot easy. Reviewed on: 15th November 2019

Savings are easy

5
Having used antiquated apps with banks before it was a real eye-opener when I saw my friend use his Starling Bank card and App. I was so interested to see that when he spend on the card the App instantly pinged to say the payment has gone through. From that point I had to have a current account with Starling as it made my previous banking App look so old. I also take my hat off to the account creation process - it is quick and very easy to complete. Reviewed on: 15th November 2019
