Review of the Monmouthshire Building Society, Savings:

Not too impressed with their processing of deposits.

Not too impressed with their processing of deposits. This month (December 2025), they correctly credited deposits made by standing order, but then immediately reversed them, and the money is nowhere to be seen. Countless numbers of people are now chasing thousands of pounds. Zero communication from MonBS. Very, very poor showing Reviewed on: 2nd December 2025

Review of the Starling Bank, Current Account:
View on product page

Brilliant for Euro transactions

5
To complement my personal Starling Sterling current account, I also have a personal Starling Euro account. As a frequent traveller to the continent, I regularly need Euros, mainly for online / app payments, standing orders, direct debits and debit card payments. Starling offers excellent exchange rates, and charges a moderate, competitive fee for the currency exchange. Moving money between my Starling Sterling and my Starling Euro account is child's play, and instant. If I have funds in my Euro accounts, I can pay in Euros with the same debit card I use in the UK - and I can control this in the app. Goes without saying that the Starling debit card supports ApplePay, so whether I am in London or in Nice, I can pay in local currency with my AppleWatch. Starling's full FSCS protection is an additional plus point, setting it firmly apart from currency transfer firms, into a league of its own. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
