Starling has been game changing for me.

Starling has been game changing for me. Moving my everyday banking from HSBC where everything was clunky and slow to Starling that streamlined everything HSBC did and more. Their saving spaces have been great, allowing me to properly take control of my budgeting, including their virtual cards which they don't hide behind a pay wall like Monzo does. I also got my family to sign up for when they spend money abroad because they're reliable and don't charge a fee for transactions on top of mastercard's fee. There are always things that could be improved: I'd like to be able to track my net earnings every month rather than just my spend, I'd like more customisation of spending categories and I'd also like to see more options for fixed savers; however, these are minor inconveniences compared to the benefits I've reaped from being with Starling. Couldn't rate them highly enough. Reviewed on: 14th February 2024

Unconventional

5
Applying with a video was unconventional but simple and easy. Having this odd style of sign-up makes me confident that Starling are happy to try new modern things rather than stick to the status-quo and do things in ways that are old and perhaps outdated. Reviewed on: 5th February 2024

A wonderfully innovative bank.

5
A wonderfully innovative bank. Helps me to save by automatically moving money to spaces and then my direct debits are attached to those. This has been so helpful with money allocated straight away for bills when I'm paid and then I know exactly how much I have left. Easy! Customer service is fantastic AND 24/7.

Easy user interface, extremely accessible, switching from a previous bank was made really easy with the given feature. Visually appealing app with great features including round ups. Customer care is exceptional and the future of the bank is bright. Reviewed on: 4th February 2024
