My wife and i used a Starling account for a tour of America. The card worked everywhere, queries and disputes were sorted immediately with a message or a call. exchange rates were good and no charge for ATM. Good app and able to view exchange rates and top up remotely. Excellent. I've also heard they've been good with busieness loans during covid. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

It just works

I love being a Starling customer. They have highlighted the huge differences between modern digital banking and traditional banking. My banking is instant, never had any issues using the app, their communications are brilliant, everything is secure using the latest security technologies, I haven't come across any banking issues that have not had a solution found (e.g. depositing cheques, cash, lost card, etc.), customer support is quick, easy, helpful and knowledgable. Most beneficial to me I think is the accessibility. I don't have ridiculous hard copy paperwork to faff about with and I don't have to drive to visit a particular branch to achieve a relatively easy task. It just works! And they keep improving it! Well done guys! Big fan. I always recommend. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021
