I opened an account with Starling due to delays and other things with the big banks and found everything is instant as soon as money leaves your account you'll receive a message telling you what's gone Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Starling is a fantastic bank that I really feel is focussed on its customers. Contact with the bank is easy and seamless and you can speak to someone quickly when you have a problem. The app is easy to use and things such as the pots which help me manage me money really effectively. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Allow tranfers directly between spaces

4
I would have given 5 stars if you could transfer money between spaces within the same account without having to withdraw it first and then add it to the other space. I would also be really helpful to be able to transfer money between spaces in different accounts. Finally, it would be great to have the option of an overdraft on a joint account. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Great and easy to use bank that pays interest on current account! Reviewed on: 13th March 2024

Superb Digital Bank

5
Superb. The GUI is intuitive, the categorisation has become a lot more flexible and personalised, the spaces are easy to set up and manage. The interest earned on current account balances mitigates inflationary pressures. The customer services have always been rapid in response, human-centric, and highly effective at resolving issues. The app is evolving with time, and I am excited to see how it continues to grow. I used Monzo before Starling and I wouldn’t go back. I shut down my high street Lloyds Bank too.
