Good bank

Part of my everyday life

So simple to set up, native app work amazingly and really easy to understand my money. Faith that they are constantly adding new functionality and can respond to regulation / market opportunities Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

"...fava beans and a nice chianti"

So Starling... I don't usually leave reviews; however, if you are going to create an on-line banking platform with, (so far), no tech issues, no delays, no over complicated procedures to obtain a new card when you accidentally used it as an ice scraper... Then you can expect a positive review... Sss sss sss sss sss Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

very user friendly

I have an income in euros and was being ripped off by my previous bank on the exchange rate. The Starling account allows me a euro and sterling account with a very generous exchange rate. Should have moved sooner. Easy to use account. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
