Spaces feature is an excellent idea.

I use the Spaces feature by transferring money into them so that a direct debit is never missed. Reviewed on: 28th February 2025

Felt pressured to change to on line banking system

I felt under pressure from my current bank to change to their on line banking system I am OAP I don’t like changes I was panicking I felt backed into a corner. My daughter calmed me down she had recently started on line banking so easy she said a child could do it she coaxed me and I reluctantly agreed. I have never looked back a few hiccups to start which were professionally and easily explained all round great experience I should have done it long ago. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

Excellent current account - great saving spaces and you can set up separate cards for different spaces. Great instant saving interest and joint account options for couples. Brilliant and quick customer service and support when needed. Constantly informed on updates via email and in app notifications. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025

From loads of old accounts to Starling Spaces...

We had a number of old accounts in our other main bank. Rather than having to manage all the different payments in and out of the five accounts we switched it all to Starling using their Spaces facility to create 'sub accounts' whcih gave us a single view and easy management of our monthly finances.
