Super modern

This is the first online only bank I've used and I won't be going back to traditional banks. It's super modern and open with what I'm spending and where. I feel in control of my money too by setting aside spaces to pay my bills from or save for something in the future. Reviewed on: 1st March 2023

Such a great bank and service

Since moving to Starling from what I would call main stream banks I can certainly say I have not looked back. Their app is the best and easiest to use along with the fact that they are an online only service which really works for me. They are always coming up with inventive new ideas to help you track your money. 100% I would recommend anyone to move their account to them. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023
