Starling has transformed the way I manage my money. I am so grateful for this app. Reviewed on: 5th November 2019

Easy to use and ahead of the game

Had an account with Starling for nearly 2 years and couldn't be happier. From the instant notifications of spend or incoming money, the card and account security methodology, to using the card abroad with the massive currency charge savings, make this a service I now wouldn't do without. Always makes me laugh seeing adverts from other banks spouting on about new features, card freeze etc, knowing that Starling had these from the outset. When the competition finally catch up with the Starling functions like marketplace, maybe I'll consider changing, but with Starling adding more and more useful services, I can't see that happening anytime soon. I have probably used every aspect of the Starling service over the period and interaction with the service, app or support team is always first rate. Keep it up Starling!

Now that we're almost in 2020 it's good to have a mobile-banking app that's looking ahead to the future too! A fantastic service and one I'm happy to be part of! Keep up the good work team! Reviewed on: 5th November 2019
