Simply the Best!

5
Starling Bank is by far the best banking service I've ever used. Their app is a doddle to use and very informative on how you spend your money, pay your bills and save for a rainy day. I love the fact that you can create saving pots for holidays, Xmas etc. The best saving pot is for bills and DD's and you can authorise the bills to be taken directly from the pot. Can't recommend this bank enough, it's simply outstanding and simple to use. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Fabulous!

I had banked with a well known high street bank for over 18 years. Literally no loyalty shown and whenever anything went wrong it was always my fault and they never did anything to appease me. After a few of these incidents, I started to look for a new bank and found Starling. I'm always squirreling money away for things so their spaces are super handy and I don't have to manage it. Getting interest at the end of the month because I have money in my account is fab. Ok it might not be much but it's a nice gesture! No fees to use my card abroad?! Amazing. So pleased with this bank and I've only been with them for less than 6 months! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
