'Simply' the best bank.

5
We have had Starling for 5 years, opened for travelling to Australia/NZ. Worked brilliantly, still does. have a home in Spain so use debit card all the time and last year opened a Euro Account to pay our bills out in Spain and closed our Spanish bank account which had become very expensive. Few teething problems but that was because of Brexit but all good now, our Direct Debits come out good now. When I need money in Euro account I just transfer at a small fee which is shown on transaction, the bank in brilliant and British I believe. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Perfect bank - wish my charity could join

5
Starling is brilliant! I have a joint account with my husband. It is easy and quick and feels very secure with instant access to my balance and shows pending amounts. I particularly appreciate the ability to use it abroad for both cash AND purchases making life so much easier. Using our other banks abroad means that I need to remember whether to use the debit or credit card for these, or there is a cash limit making it difficult if the accommodation wants to be paid in cash! I am Treasurer of a small charity and would love it if we could use it for that, too. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
