It is a great bank option, I was interested of the Kite and decided to open an account because of that, I still struggle a bit when moving money from my other bank to Starling and get requested too many times for the password. I was on a trip recently and trasnfer some funds to Starling and Monzo, for Monzo it was a matter of seconds, for Starling it took two days to clear out the funds. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
