Fresh modern Banking.

Starlings television advertisement encouraged me to look at the new style Banking. A challenge against the existing Big 4. All of what this new Bank has to say is true. It was superbly easy and quick to open. My existing current account was easily and quickly switched,including all monthly payment details. Learning how to navigate the different menus took a while but repeat usage made me aware about how easy the new layout is. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

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
