Best bank by far.

A very good banking experience thus far. App works well, although i am yet to upgrade my phone and so can't comment on how easy app migration will be, time will tell. My only real gripe with Starling is the use of the debit card in some shops. It tends to get declined a little too often, therefore I'm hesitant to rely on it 100% until i can be sure the card will be accepted everywhere i shop. Other then that I've had a good experience with Starling Bank and reccomend them to my friends quite often. Keep up the good work. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
