Find this so easy to sign up for and to manage the account. Bring able to set up 'spaces' makes a big difference for savings and separating money Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Very good bank, ALMOST perfect

Absolutely great bank. It’s almost there, however there are a few features that you’d expect a bank to have that they don’t support. Their product offering is somewhat limited and the number of services they offer limits tue functionality at times. All this means I use Starling as my main bank, but it cannot act as my only bank.
