From saving spaces to one, always up to date balance, not to mention the amazing, instant UK customer service, 24hrs a day 365 days a year, they really are the 21st Century bank that just gets everything right.

Perfect

Setting up the account is super easy, even an additional Euroaccount is set up in seconds. Great as a citizen of a Eurozone country that’s in the UK to study! Reviewed on: 6th November 2019

More transparent banking

5
Being notified about what's being spent and any upcoming payments allows you to stay more in control of your money. People always get burnt by payments they forget about, and then spend a bit extra that month only to find they've then gone overdrawn. Starling's app helps prevent this, and since I've switched I've felt more in control of my money, and it's really helped me get back on track with saving, as well as offering some useful tools within the app to help boost your savings month after month.
