Overall better features and notifications about accounts and lots of options to help customise perfect profile and layout, easy to read and locate information etc, bright, colourful, easy to manage various activities Reviewed on: 22nd April 2024

Layout and functionality of the app is the best there is in banking apps; practical, user friendly and aesthetic. I would like a search feature where it can tell me how much I've spent / income in from specific vendors however this doesn't impact my day to day use of the app, a little add luxury.

Excellent customer service with seamless safe banking

Really love the features that Starling offer, especially Spaces as it makes it so much easier to manage my money. Plus a savings account interest rate better than my previous bank. I also love how user friendly the app is and it's very visually pleasing. I've spoken to customer services via the chat on a few occasions since I became a customer and staff have been incredibly helpful and friendly. I regularly rave about Starling to my friends and will continue to recommend them in the future. Reviewed on: 22nd April 2024

Easy to set up. Seamless transmission to Starling. Nothing complicated so far. Fine philosophy for a bank without pages and pages of small print. The app is a sheer delight to use with transfers made in a timely fashion. Looking forward to being with this bank for a long time.
