I started my banking with starling nearly two years ago and I now have my partner banking with them, my daughter, her partner and their business account. Such a refreshing change to have helpful staff. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

'Spaces' A Game Changer

5
The 'Spaces' feature is like having direct debits within your bank account, without having to worry about going overdrawn. All my yearly bills are saved within 'Spaces' and it's reassuring to know the money is there when I need it. It's very flexible and easy to set up individual amounts to add to 'Spaces'. Starling is very easy to navigate, with no fluffing about. Notifications submitted when money is going in and out of account. No paperwork to get mislaid. Everything online. Simple! I would highly recommend. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Starling bank is handy and useful, I like how my card is veiwable on the app and that I can see everywhere my money has gone very easily. Notifications are great and security seems good so far, I cant fault the bank at all. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
