Review of the Starling Bank, Current account:

View on product page

Easy, fast and free

Signing up to Starling Bank was an easy process, all done via a smart phone (which you need to manage the account), but most people have one these days and it keeps costs down. Way down - most transactions, etc on a personal account are free! I travel a lot, and in the countries where it is accepted you can use it, fee free in an ATM to withdraw cash and they give you somewhere close to the midrate exchange rate on your money. Unlike some banks which charge you a % of the money changed by giving you a lower rate. I've never used it in a shop so I can't comment on that, but many countries I go to don't like cards anyway - they want cash in the shops! I would say that Starling is the best bank card to carry if you travel a lot. Reviewed on: 18th January 2021

Convenient and stress-free

As soon as I got my Starling card I knew it was something special - it arrived in a beautiful package! It's so easy to use the card and the account in every way. You use it as a regular bank account or just transfer money in from your other accounts, for use when travelling abroad. I do this, just transferring the amount I wish to withdraw in case my card gets stolen or cloned. It gives very good exchange rates and no charge (from Starling). The app is brilliant, it gives you all of your transaction details, money in and out, and is just simple and intuitive to use. I haven't tried all of the features yet, but it's the easiest bank account to use that I've found so far. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
