Useful, convenient and fast

Starling has redesigned the banking experience for the smartphone generation. The app lets me manage my finances incredibly easily and offers really clever features such as categorising payments, requesting payments and setting up financial goals to work towards. It’s so much more than just a well designed app, it’s a remarkably well designed experience. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent service

I can’t see any reason to choose another bank. Very good mobile app, the post office acts like a bank, sending and receiving money is a joy, saving money on the side is very handy, and the analytics for spending is superb. I actively recommend Starling to everyone. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Brilliant little app

I have recently switched to Starling bank and I love it. It is so easy to use. I have always struggled to save money and using the spaces section of the app I can set goals to save for specific items. I've chosen the rounding up card payments to the nearest pound option and I'm on the way to my goal to buy new glasses. The security is a bit quirky using a video to open your account and this is referenced for making changes like when I forgot my password. Also the ability to lock my card using the app if I lose it. I'd definitely recommend switching to Starling. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
