Initiative and user friendly

Constantly improving an already very easy to use and professional app. I am totally in control of my money with wonderful flexibility and options rather than the way round with other banks. Easy quick and helpful customer support when you need it. So refreshing it's a pleasure to keep on top of your finances. I have saved money , it's free and even get paid interest!

Clear and easy

5
Clear, easy and straightforward. Love it. Seems to be doing banking for people and not just for profit. Love the auto notification as soon as any spending transaction is made. This really gives you heeps of confidence that your money is safe and you would notice immediately if there was a mistake or problem. I took up a Starling Account to allow me to access my money without transaction fees and foreign exchange charges when I started travelling in 2018. I visited over 20 countries across Asia and South America and had no trouble taking out all the different local currencies from ATMs and paying for bills and services. Love it, and based on my personal experience - I highly recommend this product and Company. Reviewed on: 19th February 2021
