How banking should be

5
Having retired I decided to open a current account in my own name after 40 years having a joint account with my wife. I researched varying accounts but Starling looked to stand out from the rest. What can I say, easy to set up and very user friendly even for myself and no hard sell with other products etc which I find a put off. All in all highly recommended. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The future of current accounts

5
Starling current accounts are bursting with features that other banks make a big deal about having just one or two of. The customer support is also excellent. So I can’t fault them! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
