A true savior in a digital age

5
Starling Bank understands the problems bank customers face, especially now that everything has gone digital and money transfers have become much faster. From the way your spendings are reported in the app to the ease of putting money aside for a certain goal, Starling Bank ticks all the boxes high street banks fail to deliver. Obviously they offer the exact same services as high Street banks, but with a modern twist that guarantees optimal user experience and greatly eases money management. To top that all off, their card design is beautiful. I recommend this bank to everyone. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018
