The Starling Account is a dream to operate. You can lock/unlock your card. Credits and debits are almost instantaneous. The ability to pay in a cheque by "photo" was a god send during Covid. No extra charges when purchasing abroad and to cap it all they pay interest on your money. Huzzah!! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Unreal bank!

I signed up for a Starling current account after reading about its founder and her ethos for the bank. Starting a new account was easy and I’m looking forward to using all the features which look really useful. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

An excellent way of Banking

A little over a month ago, I was frustrated because I was unable to open Lloyds account and I started wondering what I could do. I had heard of Starling Bank before, but I didn't believe it was trustworthy enough, but I gave it a go. Firstly, to register it was pretty simple, I received my card no more than 10 days. When my card was misplaced and someone tried using it, it was blocked instantly and replaced speedily, I didn't incur any losses of money. Thank you to all the team. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
