Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:

Starling quickly became my favorite bank and for a g...

Starling quickly became my favorite bank and for a good reason! The user interface is incredibly intuitive both on the app and website. They have real-time account updates so you can see exactly how much you spent and when, as soon as the purchase was made. Since I have dyscalculia, a learning difficulty around numerical values (to put it simply!), this feature makes it feel a lot easier to navigate Starling compared to other banks which may only reflect purchases days later. It might sound like a small thing, but it's helped me to budget safely while avoiding issues like spending money I don't actually have! Even more than that, I really love the spaces function which lets me pay my bills directly from the space. It means I can immediately make sure that essential spends and bills are covered and I only see the amount of money I have "leftover" for the month on the main page. At the same time, the actually pretty good monthly interest rate applies to the cumulative balance across your account, even if it's divided into spaces! There are no monthly fees and as such the value for money is fantastic. I can only recommend this bank! Reviewed on: 2nd June 2024

Starling makes saving so easy. The spaces that you can name mean that you can save pots of money which build over time, meaning you’re never left unsure as to how much money you have and for what purpose. Reviewed on: 15th April 2025
