Best bank ever

Starling are a great bank. You can see you spending in real time so it’s great to plan. There are spaces to save, and kids accounts. They are helpful, and are not out to make money out of you like other high street banks. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

The best thing about this is the saving spaces. We have one for our bills so we can adjust how much to transfer ( that starling does for us) and ‘no bills’ come out of our main account. We can’t set up other accounts for holidays/kids etc also great /easy customer service Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
