Easy to use and the customer service is amazing. If I need help or even if I need to inform myself about something. The on-line chat is amazing tool.

I've never had any issue with Starling. It was a very smooth sign up process and it's been like that since then. I get details of my income and spending very easily and it automatically puts labels through which I can track my spending. Reviewed on: 24th January 2023
