I wish I had moved to starling years ago

My old bank had an app that kept crashing, constantly being updated at weekends and when calling them it took ages whilst on hold. Starling, when I have contacted them have been excellent. I especially like the ability to pay my cheques in via a photo. Love Starling Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Excellent dual currency current account.

I was astonished to find that Starling offered a current account and debit card that could be used for both sterling and euro transactions. Flipping money between currencies was simple and offered a better rate than any other currency exchange. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

I just love the bank and the App. Was with HSBC prior but starling is so much better, neater and the customer service is excellent. Given me faith back in the banking system Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Brilliant App!

Since switching to Starling I’ve found it so much easier to keep control of my money. The ‘saving spaces’ can be used to both save and also to budget for all your bills and standing orders. All my bills are paid from one of the spaces and it’s topped up automatically each month on pay day. Which means that what I ‘see’ in my current account is mine to spend without finding out I’ve forgotten a bill later in the month with nothing left to pay it with! Awesome!

Eat banking app by far

So glad that I opened this account. I’m currently transferring all my banking over to them. The advance notice you get about your payments and extra security they provide in payments leaving your account make this a no brainier. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Why I think I have made the right choice with Starling Bank
