Bank of the future

5
Really easy to use app - none of the fuss with other banks. Love the feature that it rounds up your pennies to put into a separate savings account. Great customer service. Also the colour of the card is super cute. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent alternative to conventional banking

5
I was a little sceptical when I read about eBanks and reviewed two banks, of which Starling was one. I have to say the smooth application process and subsequent management of the account on-line is excellent. I am also very impressed with the notifications of spending to ensure I am able to catch any fraud activity on my account. I hope to spend many happy years with Starling. Thank you for an excellent product and service. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
