Excellent product all around

5
Starling helps me manage my money so efficiently and keep track of my spending. Particularly love the new feature where bills can be paid out of spaces, so useful for planning ahead. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Thoughtfully designed, expertly executed.

5
Starling Bank seem set to be the real contender to challenge the big banks. With the ability ot pivot more easily than the likes of HSBC, Natwest, Lloyds etc. I think in several years, the teal card will be more common-sight than it is currently. Starling Bank's current account is intuitive, isn't over-stuffed with features that makes navigation difficult and their in-app support is unrivalled in my experience. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023

Improved spaces

The spaces in the current account has really improved but the same functionality with the virtual cards would make the joint account better. Reviewed on: 4th April 2023
