Quick and Easy with good customer service!

5
I moved to starling after having countless bad experiences with my previous bank. It was very easy to set up my account and get going. The app itself is very clean making it easy to navigate. I especially love the spaces option. It is a huge time saver rather than having to make a savings account i can put money aside for things such as holidays or furniture with ease. The customer service response is quick and i've never had any issues when i've encountered problems with my account. I would highly reccomend Starling to most people! Reviewed on: 26th February 2023
