Easy, fast, fee-less

I was introduced to Starling by a relative who wanted to try it out. Judging from my experience, it is so far the best bank if you want a current account for your daily expenses. Starling makes it easy to transfer and receive money, especially when you’re travelling abroad. It is a good bank for foreign students who are having difficulties in opening an account when arriving in the UK and a brilliant to control your expenses. Reviewed on: 23rd March 2022

Absolute gamechanger

5
Having been dropped in it by Tesco's cessation of current accounts we had to go bank shopping. After considering all UK banks Starling scored top. Once decided set up was smooth and seamless The functionality is on a completely different level. Everyone else needs to catch up. Absolutely delighted with our decision and the service offered.
