Growing up, I was always with Barclays as that’s what my parents had. I found most things inaccessible at a click of a button and either had to go into branch or make a long winded phone call for the most simple things. With Starling, everything is available within the app & if you’re ever confused, the live chat option is super easy to use and no questions ever go unanswered. I have multiple different saving spaces to organise my money without going through the hassle of opening saving accounts, me and my boyfriend have a joint account which was made within minutes based off both of us using starling. Banking & managing money has never been so simple! Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

I’ve had nothing but a good experience with Starling. I’ve been with them for over a year now and I’ve had no trouble at all. Account wise, I like the insights in to my spending the app can give me, though I was fairly good ant keeping track of how much I’ve spent in a month it is much easier seeing it represented by category. Another plus is the facility to set up what Starling call “spaces”. I use one to automatically wall off enough money every month for my bills, leaving the amount I see on the summary page the amount of cash I have “free”. It really made a difference from my old account where I would have to try and remember when a bill was coming out to keep on top of the money I had left for the month. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
