Fresh innovative banking

I'm new to Starling and have only just begun to use it for international travel transactions but I'm considering moving to using it as my main bank account. The app is really innovative and usefully breaks down and tracks spending. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023

Great bank, Great money management

Starling bank is a great and modern option for people of all ages. No worrying about bank branches, no pointless visits. Just an app, great support and great service. Their app is modern and slick, with one of the best banking app UIs I have experienced. It shows your spending, allows you to create sub accounts called "saving spaces" where you can manage your money better and set yourself goals. First thing you see when you enter the app is a general sum you've spent this month, with a piechart showing where you have spent your money. Making it easier to weed out unnecessary expenses, and help yourself limit your spending. The saving spaces are probably my favourite feature. I don't have to create a seperate account for my savings, i simply create a saving space and enjoy a higher interest in my account as my savings grow. I can also set up automatic transfers and direct debits to be billed directly from a saving space meaning I can have a seperate history for specific services. This includes rent, bills, investments, holidays and so much more. I can easily set up a virtual card meaning that if I want to subscribe to services, they will not get my main debit card details, making it so much easier to restrict access to my hard earned money if cancelling a subscription service turns out to be bothersome (I simply cancel my digital card and create a new one in the worst case scenario!). Not to mention if a service I have subscribed to has a data breach, the breached card will only have access to that specific saving space, not my whole account! Meaning I don't have to wait until a new card is sent to me so I can continue to use my account undisturbed. Reviewed on: 28th February 2023
