Changed the way I view banking!

5
Starling was my first full bank account switch and I would never go back. The app experience is fantastic in terms of its ease of use, everything you need to see at a glance (direct debits, spending habits, money planned to come in etc) and the saving pots really help with budgeting. Starling feels like they’re on top of brand new features that are being rolled out regularly, which we can’t say the same for our high street banking apps. 100% would recommend at least checking out the app, if not making the full switch!

Best bank (better than monzo!)

5
I have monzo, lloyds and Starling. And it's the most reliable, fast, easy to use bank that I have. Never had any problems with customer service and the app works brilliantly. It's easy to understand with tons of great utilities waiting to be discovered. Far the best bank. Reviewed on: 5th April 2023
