Brilliant banking at the touch of a button

5
Brilliant banking, the app is so easy to use, wish I'd changed over years ago, I was looking for a new bank as my local branch closed, 2 of my friends recommended Starling, I was never one for banking via an app on my phone but was told so many good things so decided to give it a go, haven't regretted one second, it's fantastic and I should've done it years ago, so easy to manage my bills and keep track of everything at the touch of a button, 5 ⭐.

Sharp efficient and progressive bank

5
Good to get away from banks who spend so much money on hapless ads. Feels as though you are moving with the times. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Best bank ever

5
Great service, easy to use, and I love spaces. With other banks I had to open different accounts to save money. Now with spaces it is so easy, when income arrives I immediately put it into the different spaces. That way I budget better and don’t overspend money I think I have until a big bill comes in.

I cannot fault Starling at all. Everything I need in a bank I get from Starling—great mobile app, easy to make payments, separate card for shopping etc, saving spaces, virtual card for online payments etc etc Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Amazing simplicity

Very straight forward and friendly service. You even get interest added. I would never change again to another bank. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Great to analyse

5
As the title states “Great to analyse”, see by merchant, category etc in where your money goes is really good. Immediately notified about spending via Apple Pay / Card, previous bank took 3 days. Could do with reacting to customer payments feedback quicker. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Banking made simple
