Starling are great at helping me to budget and save using the "Spaces" feature and they have been amazing at helping me open my account without the traditional photo ID. As an autistic person, I have found their app so user-friendly and I have recommended Starling to several people and I know at least two have since opened accounts with them.

On line app is very easy to use and gives clear information. Payments and transfers are fast. Foreign currency paying when overseas is great. Like interest on current account balances Reviewed on: 24th April 2024

I used to think banks were all pretty much the same until I started using Starling. The instant notifications at transaction were an immediate change from the outdated banks I had been with before but it's all their own unique features that really makes them stand out! The Spaces feature with Linked Cards is a gamechanger and it all helps massively with budgeting as a student! Reviewed on: 24th April 2024

Easy to use, does all I want.

Easy to use, does all I want. I don’t carry a wallet anymore, the app combined with Apple Pay is all I need! Reviewed on: 23rd April 2024
