How banking should be.

Starling, making bank cool, functional, straightforward and slick. Got tired of the hassle of the standard banks, with rubbish apps and even worse online experience. Starling has none of it, it's great, easy to use, great for budgeting and saving. Good money spend catorgrising, and up to date balance. The big banks could learn alot!

Leaving traditional banks for dead...

The whole experience has been brilliant - from quick and painless activation, to setting up Spaces and arranging transfer of funds between Spaces & the main account. Having a Starling account has contributed to a transformation in our family finances. The traditional banks are seriously lagging behind! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
