What can be said that others haven't already! Starling is a great bank with live balance. Spaces makes it easy to save little bits for that before pay day treat! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Simply the Best - Better than all the Rest

A great service. The app is really easy to use to pay in cheques (for the time you get one these days) and/or transferring money to different accounts or the different 'areas' you've set up within your own account. The best part for me is the fee free use abroad with excellent exchange rates and, with near instant notification of any transaction, it's really easy to keep track of spending. I also like the fact that you are automatically logged out of your account as soon as you leave the app. Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Best bank ever!

I love that you can put money into pots, set aside for specific things. Never had a problem with the bank - they're great! Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023

Efficient, friendly, open, trustworthy

Cannot recommend these enough. Easy to set up an account, super easy to use app, gives you so much information on your spending, shows it graphically - I always know where I am with my money and it’s no effort in my part! They allow you to have saving spaces, which makes it easy to squirrel away money for that special occasion. Absolutely brilliant. Innovation. Any questions, ask on the app and they’re quite quick to respond. And they’re so much more ethical than all the others out there! :) Reviewed on: 3rd April 2023
