Can’t complain about Starling Bank. They make you reimagine what a Bank these days is supposed to be, and you realise quickly that the old players have a lot to learn when it comes to the way people want to handle their money in the 21st century. Starling made the experience right from downloading the app to the fancy packaging of the debit card so smooth and easy and the usability of the platform is so good, beyond that offered by the traditional banks who seem to have built their online banking on top of decades of clunky systems. I like the fact Starling think of themselves of a tech firm first, it really shows. Reviewed on: 19th January 2018

Revolutionary full scale banking

Sick of the bureaucracy involved in the big 5 high street banks, but still need the basic account services that Revolut and Mondo don’t provide. Starling is the perfect alternative, changing the way I Bank and hopefully the whole industry for the better Reviewed on: 19th January 2018
