Starling makes managing my money easy.

5
Starling is so easy to use and to see exactly what I spend. They reply to queries promptly and also supply good advice generally about avoiding fraud and scams. The Saving Spaces help me manage my money efficiently and the fixed rate accounts are a good deal. Using my Starling card abroad is easy and avoids unnecessary bank charges. A top service!

Spaces feature is an excellent idea.

Felt pressured to change to on line banking system

5
I felt under pressure from my current bank to change to their on line banking system I am OAP I don’t like changes I was panicking I felt backed into a corner. My daughter calmed me down she had recently started on line banking so easy she said a child could do it she coaxed me and I reluctantly agreed. I have never looked back a few hiccups to start which were professionally and easily explained all round great experience I should have done it long ago. Reviewed on: 26th February 2025
