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

How banking would be if it were invented today Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

The best !

5
During the pandemic when just booking an appointment to open an account took one week (it just took me 30 minutes to register using the app with Starling), can’t describe how helpful that was for me, getting verified within 2 hours and being able to receive money on my British account as an international student just made my life easier. The App is so easy to use and u just don’t need any other budgeting app when u use it ! Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Great online banking

5
As other banks continuously close high street branches, reduce opening hours and actively encourage us to bank online. It made complete sense to use a bank set up for online use from the start! I have not been disappointed, I would highly recommend to anyone. Give them a go. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
