freedom

5
I switched to Starling because I wanted a bank that was ethical, not investing or financing projects which are causing harm eg manufacturing, testing and commerce in arms, pipelines exploitation of people. I feel a freedom energetically in making this choice. II feel I have gained control of my finances with the transparent way that starling operates. I am not going o be penalized with extortionate charges as everything is declared up front, visible and accessible at anytime. I feel I'm being give the freedom of an adult to make choices. M husband switched just after Christmas. we love the joint account. We are both equally informed and responsible. Reviewed on: 10th February 2019
