BEST UK BANK

I switched from First Direct to Starling because I found First Direct were slow to adapt their product to reflect what competitors are offering. Their security steps had also become too complicated. I have not been disappointed with the switch. Starling is much easier to use and navigate And n the year since I have switched, they have continued to innovate. My favourite new feature is Bills management which makes it so much easier to make sure you have money aside to pay your monthly bills. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Fabulous

When I first moved to the UK I really struggled to open a bank account in the UK. Starling made the process extremely easy. Their website is user friendly, information is explained well and coupled with the fact that . Starlings perks are appealing, such as no fees for cash withdrawals under £100 overseas and increased mobile app security. Plus the fact that they have won best current account provider for a few consecutive years in a row made my decision even easier. Lastly, I do enjoy the fact that the bank has a much lower carbon footprint than the traditional bricks and mortar banks. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
