Best Ergonomics and Transfer Speed.

Best online bank, safe and cash deposit in every post office for free. Bank founded by a genius Lady, fast transfers and very practical. Waiting for more offers and financial products in the future. We definitely should have more CEO women in banking in finance, it would make our lives easier. Bank to recommend for working families. Services are nearly entirely free. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Hassle free banking

Love how everything really is dealt with by the touch of a button Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

An amazing, innovative bank!

5
Starling’s tools help me to manage my money in an innovative and intuitive way. Where would I be without Spaces? Or Virtual Cards? These features help me to manage my money in virtual accounts where each virtual account represents an area of spending such as ‘household bills’. I can have a virtual MasterCard for my household bills space and I can see how much I need to have in that space each month. I can’t wait for the virtual card feature to become available in business banking. - and I’ve never felt like that about a bank before Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Simple and best

Easy to.open, simple.to.maintain, secured and simply the best. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Banking at your fingertips.

5
Instant notifications on spending, 24 hrs notice for scheduled payments, paying bills with a few taps, transfer money into in app spaces which you can have a virtual card for each so money can be paid directly rather than transferring back to funds then paying. Easy and simple app to navigate. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023
