Quick and Easy Money On the Go

Honestly I prefer this bank to others. It's easy to setup, and send money between friends. I always get notifications for every transaction I make which keeps me alert to any fraudulent activity. I also love the spaces for saving money! It's also super easy to switch between accounts too! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Opened a Starling account on recommendation from my Son as an easy account to use, good communication and transparency of service.
