Banking as it should be
Banking as it should be, always informed, always easy, with all the right protections in place when you need it. I don't see how a bank could do it any better.

Great app from a great bank
I like the app design, and I like the idea of using different Spaces to save for different projects, not to mention that their Savings rates are very competitive.
I also appreciate that the time of each transaction is shown; some other banking apps show the date the merchant put it through the bank, which might be two or three days later.
Finally, I like that transactions appear as push notifications, especially when funds on which I'm waiting arrive in my account.
I've been banking with Starling for several years, now, and this is a great app from a bank that provides great service.

One of the easiest accounts that I have ever used. The app is clear, concise and navigable. I love the fact that the debit card is one of the best for withdrawing cash overseas. A market-leading bank in a highly competitive field. Thoroughly recommend.
