Fantastic app, very easy to use compared to others I've had.. So simple to pay money/cheques into the account. One of the best accounts to use outside the UK. It does everything a bank should without making you jump through hoops to access your own money. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

The best banking decision I ever made

5
I love Starling. From the moment I received my new card everything has been so positive. My husband pays me weekly from our main account and I save in individual spaces for all of our main budget categories. This has given me so much control and visibility of where we are spending. I spend less, stay within budget and have some money left over. Whenever I have had questions the starling team have been super responsive. Well done! Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Starling's Spaces feature has transformed our family's budgeting. And everything else just works, painlessly. I've used dozens of bank accounts over the years and nobody else comes close. Keep up the good work! Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

A few times now I’ve had difficulty with scams, by no fault of my own or there’s been issues elsewhere and I can honestly say that every time they have fought on my behalf I’ve always got the money back! The team are lovely and always happy to assist you, would definitely recommend although I am not a fan of the new upstaged system layout as much as the older one when I first got the account :) Reviewed on: 1st April 2023
