Easy to set up, interest on balance, ability to set up goals and have bills rounded up to achieve them, fee free spending in other countries, choose PIN before card arrives, disable card using your phone and instant notifications to your phone. Brilliant, for me Starling are leaving the big names behind in their dust. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
