Financail peace and clarity with Starling App

I love Starling Bank's app which has enabled me to set up limited saving spaces which has helped me stay on track with every single payment I make throughout the year. It reminds me if a bill is coming up and I can allocate a saving space to pay an individual bill from. This has helped me acquire finance hygiene, mental clarity and emotional calm around my money.

Knowing it's bringing clarity and calm to your finances makes us really, it means we're doing something right! Team Starling Response date: 24th January 2026

Simple, stellar, sensible

Easy to use App. Simple breakdowns of ins and outs; categories. Advice and info clear. Great coloured card easy to spot in purse. A sensible no frills well thought out current account Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Reply from Starling Bank Hi there, Thanks so much for the detailed feedback. We love hearing that the app makes tracking in and outs simple, that our support is clear, and that you enjoy the practical touches like the coloured card. A straightforward, no-frills account that works well is exactly what we aim for! Team Starling Response date: 24th January 2026

It is a reliable and simple to use system.

It is a reliable and simple to use system which suits me, a pensioner with pensions only as income. I have a feeling that the Starling system is both secure and is dependable. I particularly like the debit credit forecast warnings which allow me to plan and prevent me from becoming overdrawn. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Starling is so easy to use

Starling is so easy to use and the app is really good Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Easy to manouvre account app and very safe.

Easy to manouvre account app. Always feel very safe accessing the app. Very good hints about staying safe online whilst banking and what they would never ask customers for, making me more alert. Customer service response time very quick and efficient, when needed. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Great Account

I really like how I can separate my money into different pots like groceries, petrol, savings etc. It helps me keep track of how much I’m spending and saving and just makes everything so much easier. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Saving pots

I love that I can easily create pots to save and pay bills from. My one downside is as a sole trader being made to have a business account when by law I don’t legally have to. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2026

Great Bank

I have been with them since 2017. A great App. I really like the spaces so you can divide your income for bills and rent. If you have kids you can get an additional card for their allowance. You don’t get charges using the card abroad either. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2026
