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
