Happy customer

5
I’m happy with starling. Wish I could have an account in Euros too and be able to use the same card Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

European Travel

5
We are in Spain about 6 months of the year. The Euro account is fantastic. Great exchange rates and free in some ATM’s. App easy to use and the kite card is great for teaching kids how to manage money. They love the fact that they get their own card. There was an old advertisement on TV from a well known bank “ Never leave home without it “. This applies to Starling also. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
