Best digital bank!

I have had the best experience with them. The app runs smoothly and attention is the best. The only problem I see is that they require you to be a UK-resident and do not provide their services for EU residents Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Brilliant banking at the touch of a button

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 ⭐.

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.
