Convenient and simple

5
I was nervous about opening a internet based bank. However after doing my research as I was looking at going for a holiday abroad I choose Starling and haven’t looked back. Setting up and opening the account was simple and straightforward without the need to spend hours in an appointment. Card arrived promptly and it is nice to also earn interest on your current account even if rates have dropped very low at the moment. Third party additions are also a real bonus and being able to get so much all out of one app with options for investments, spending perks, pensions and so much more. Really recommended.

Brilliant

Best bank I have ever been with, easy to understand & love how you can save in different spaces & set up rounding off your money when you buy items on your card. For online banking which at 1st I was very sceptical about I am so glad I took the leap & put my money & trust in them. Would highly recommend. 10 out of 10 without a doubt.
