Best bank for me

5
I've been using other banks before but everything is so much better and faster on Starling. Overview of the account with spending and income making it easier to manage my money. Instant notification of what happens with my money and the ability to see the income before it actually reaches my account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple, yet effective

Love Starling Bank, the app is easy to use and the use of spaces is fantastic. Although purpose is to use them as saving goals I combine the use to help me budget each month, splitting my salary into spaces such as food, DDs etc. Moving money from spaces back to the main account is quick and simple. You can easily transfer money to another Starling user just by being in close proximity - another reason I convince everyone to use Starling. Customer service is quick and have preset responses which have always answered my questions within seconds. Top bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant for Euro transactions

5
To complement my personal Starling Sterling current account, I also have a personal Starling Euro account. As a frequent traveller to the continent, I regularly need Euros, mainly for online / app payments, standing orders, direct debits and debit card payments. Starling offers excellent exchange rates, and charges a moderate, competitive fee for the currency exchange. Moving money between my Starling Sterling and my Starling Euro account is child's play, and instant. If I have funds in my Euro accounts, I can pay in Euros with the same debit card I use in the UK - and I can control this in the app. Goes without saying that the Starling debit card supports ApplePay, so whether I am in London or in Nice, I can pay in local currency with my AppleWatch. Starling's full FSCS protection is an additional plus point, setting it firmly apart from currency transfer firms, into a league of its own. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
