The best

Easy to use. Wish could pay more cash in yearly is only negative Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Best one

Excellent Bank helped with Kite account. I couldn't find anywhere else. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

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

Dream about first Bank Card

Starling make it real for my kids to get their first banking experience with their own cards and real life financial planning. Need to have options now a day, to practically teach kids to properly handle their money. Reviewed on: 17th March 2023

Excellent way to start educating kids about saving and spending

We signed our two kids up for kite cards ahead of our trip to florida last year so that they could each be in control of their spending money. It worked great and they really developed their sense of responsibility and money management by being able to see what they had spent and what they had left in the app in real time.
