I use the app to review all my accounts that I have with the bank, I visit the EU regularly and have a Euro account too and love that I can use the same card there too. The app allows me to move my money very easily between all my accounts, with a great rate fro cross transfer to my euro account. I like the fact that if I purchase anything online, that there is a security option and approval on the app to ensure that I am paying. There is always a prompt to ensure that I am not being scammed. I also converted my husband to Starling and we now have current, euro, joint and business accounts with Starling. All on the same app! Reviewed on: 25th February 2023
