Great Bank!

5
switched from high st. bank - never looked back - starling is fantastic, used abroad, Jordan and Baltic States, direct debits, standing orders, transfers in and out, paying in cheques by photo is fantastic and avoids taking it to another bank branch. Cash in via Post Office is perfect1 Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The future of banking

Simple to use, full of useful info, secure and transparent ! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant banking for the person on the go - or stuck at home !

5
The easy to use app, and now the computer option means I can keep a close eye on my finances. It updates instantly and advises me of transactions. It also analyses my spend, and on top of that when I go abroad (eventually !) it enables me to get foreign currency without the excessive charges that other accounts have. I highly recommend this bank and am extremely pleased I moved to it when I did ! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Everything you need is in one bank, which is Starling.

5
I’ve been banking with starling for few years now and I have to say that it’s easily the best bank in my opinion because you can switch between two currencies and the bank gives you so many perks such as image clearing cheques and no fees applied when using starling card in European countries. Wish them the best. Thank you. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
