Recent Bank Switch

My wife & I recently moved our accounts to Starling and absolutely love all the features, paying bills out of separate spaces was a game changer. Also being able to transfer electronically between myself and another account holder with handing over any bank details is just brilliant!! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

I have total control of my finances now as I have up to the second knowledge of my finances and can see exactly what I have spent ,and where . I can see what money is due to go out and when and also what money is about to go into my account. This is how banking should be. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

We moved to starling bank over a year ago. At first things where tough to change over companies didn’t accept it but we persisted and it worked out amazing! We even had to cooperate with customer service at one point. And they were so nice and helpful.
