Sorted my finances in a month!

I love the "spaces"! I used to have envelopes in my diary and put cash in and then spend it. I can see everything I'm doing and it's a fun app! Service team are great too. 10/10. I'm always recommending Starling. Please can we have some more app pics/logos rather than just football and rainbows. Thank you Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Easy and hassle free

Got a Starling account initially for the ease of drawing money out abroad. I now use it all the time as it is by far better than what used to be my main bank account. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

When I say simple, I mean so easy to use!!!! If I can , anyone can!! I’ve already planted 3 trees by recommendation to my friends, and the saving spaces, I’ve actually managed to save for the first time in my life- and im nearly 56!!! Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

Gold star award, keep up the great work and keep innovating!

Until last year I was a FD customer and joined the bank when they started as the pioneer and challenger to traditional bricks and mortar high-street banking. I switched to Starling last year and it was a breeze to switch. I'm delighted with the service and the slick informative app. Time for the veterans to play catch-up! Good luck!
