Best bank ever

Feel totally in control of my finances as the information is bang up to date. So easy to use. Reviewed on: 29th March 2022

Great bank!

5
Starling are really great! They’re app is so easy to navigate and understand, they have a chat feature too so if I have any queries I can go on there and they answer really quickly. The only downside I can think is if you have cash you have to go into a post office to pay it into your account whereas most banks you could do it at an atm machine but it’s really a minor issue compared to this amazing bank!

Helps me manage my money

5
I love Starling's Spaces feature, especially where you are able to have direct debits set up in each space. I put the amount due for my bills into my 'bills' space so it is separate from my main account each month and the payments are taken straight from it. It's great because I know exactly how much money I have left for the rest of the month without worrying about what's coming out when. Reviewed on: 28th March 2022
