Truly deserved 5-star rating

This is the bank of the XXI century while some others are stuck in the past. Real-time instant payment notifications, no fees for maintaining the account (except the kite card), and no foreign transaction fees either. I travelled far and wide across many countries and put the Starling bank through its paces and they always come on top. I've recommended the Starling bank to friends and family and they are all equally happy as I am. If you still reading this review, don't hesitate to sign up with Starling. Give it a go, I guarantee you won't be disappointed. All the best, Chris. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023
