So impressed with instant notification of any use of my account so avoiding fraudulent transactions. No faff accessing my account like other online banking services with UK high street bank. Excellent for travelling as no currency fees , can take out money at cash points abroad without fees and good exchange rate. I recommend to all my friends. The summary of spending helps you keep track. My husband had an account first and recommended to me. Keep it up Starling show those other banks what being a customer means Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
