They care

Due to COVID-19 we had financial difficulties. Starling bank send us helpful advice we follow. They are uk based, available 24/7 365 days. The app is intuitive. Our euro account means no need for another card. They care about us even though we are not wealthy and have had difficulties. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

So smart and user friendly

It’s seems hard to believe that no other (major) bank has still not incorporated so many of the features that a starling current account offers. Why did it take me so long to switch?! I’m very happy with it. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
