Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Fast & easy to set up

5
Super fast to set up a current account - it took less than 5 minutes. It has a great app which is going to be a fantastic tool to help me budget my monthly outgoings. I love that you can get a second card and set a limit. Reviewed on: 17th February 2023

Great Bank

5
I have Starling as a joint account, it's been an excellent bank and is so easy to use. The interest I have been getting is better than my other current account. I cannot recommend it enough and have done so to friends and family. The app is easy to use and has a lot to offer Reviewed on: 17th February 2023

Brilliant app bank

Bank account that does everything it needs without fuss

5
Been a Starling customer for years now and never had any problems, the app based banking is great, they have good safeguards in place when making big transactions and the savings space/bills manager feature is really neat - something that other banks don't have. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

I love how you can make saving spaces and have my bills come out of a separate dedicated savings space Reviewed on: 16th February 2023

I love the spaces feature!

5
The spaces are my favourite bit as I can better have an idea of how much I can work around. The automated saving round up feature (that I can personalize by how much it's multiplied by) also helps me build up some extra savings. Reviewed on: 16th February 2023
