Modern Banking

Starling provide a progressive, modern service that keeps you informed about transactions and is backed by good customer service. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Neat and Nifty

As a mature client of 70+ I find this account so easy to use. Still using cheques but being able to photo them through for clearance is neat. Also like the Spaces section where you can save for something specific, very nifty. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

Pensioners: Never miss a bill with Spaces

As a Pensioner I need to make my cover costs. Spaces allows allocation of my pension to the different category of bills with Direct Debits taken from the space. With a warning message the day before payment to ensure sufficient funds are available. Remaining funds are then available for spending or saving without the chance of missing a bill. Other banks require juggling if funds and it is easy to miss a payment if funds are in the wrong account. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022
