Brings peace and ease to banking

They are amazing everywhere. CC, competitive rates, and they’re always adding new features to the app! They’ve helped me with money management and save for my first home! Which I just got with my partner and have opened a joint account with Starling Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Very easy banking

I like the fact i can check on when and who I've payed / received monies off. Receiving alerts to remind me off payments due. Would like to be given a over draft as I have one with The Natwest. £450. I want to pay this off and then close Natwest account but I find overdraft handy to have in emergencies. Apart from m that keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Services I didn't know I needed delivered simply

I probably spent more time getting the application vidéo looking right than I actually did on the application. In minutes I've got an account and am playing with the intuitive app which has genuinely helped me be more aware of my spending. That I don't shy away from opening because it could be bad news, and consequently am far better at managing my money and feeling a lot better about it. Am currently making use of the marketplace to bring in other services to consolidate my bills to further help manage my finances. Happy days. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fantastic challenger bank

5
From the start my experience has been brilliant with Starling. The app is excellent and very easy to use. I love the breakdown of all my spending. It’s also great I can temporarily lock my card if I have mislaid it rather than just cancel it. I particularly love not being ripped off with extra fees and inflated exchange rates when I travel abroad as this has been my experience with the more traditional high street banks. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Brilliant
