The Best Bank Ever

5
I've been with Starling for well over a year now and I haven't had any issues in all that time. It's great my youngests account is attached to mine, able to pay from a separate bills area and my own savings area as well. Would recommend to anyone considering moving from a high street bank!

Modern day banking as it should be

Having transferred from a ‘traditional’ cheque book account with poor online banking I couldn’t be more pleased with Starling’s product. The app based interface is feature packed and incredibly user friendly. A highly recommended, first rate product. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

All pros, no cons

My Starling account is my only bank account. With the “Spaces” feature you can create sub accounts if you want to save for different things at the same time, without extra accounts. That’s just one pro, there are more. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
