Excellent way to bank.

Starling Bank is so easy to use. Even on the go. I have my wages paid in and then transfer some of the amount to the spaces. The spaces are very easy to access to see what you have saved and easy to transfer back to your account. The whole thing is so uncomplicated. I recommended my daughter to get an account and she did and she loves it too. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023

Starling Bank has really helped me get control of my finances.

Have distinct pots where I can move money to helps me to save and have contingency for unexpected expense. Even though this is an app based bank, the customer service is exceptional when needed.

Starling Bank provides banking for people who live in the 21st Century. Use the app, bank online and even deposit cheques by taking a photo! It's ALL really simple and free! They put customer needs and wants first, not what improves their own salaries,, the interests of their shareholders, or stupid gimmicks. Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
