The Future of Banking

I was initially drawn in by the zero currency conversion fees whilst travelling and stayed for the innovative and futuristic way to bank. Using the app and only the app makes it so easy to use it every day and check your spending. Transferring and requesting money between friends is also extremely easy and useful.

I’ve tried opening a High Street bank account after I moved to UK but was unable because they didn’t take government papers as proof of address. In rescue come Starling. At first I chose them because their awesome card color but soon I realized the many many plus sides that came with them. I’ve never been this satisfied with a bank. The transparency, the benefits, the customer care-TOP Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Very happy customer

5
I have been with Starling for a couple of years and I am very happy and have never had any issues. The app is intuitive and easy to use. Their customer service is great and they respond quickly to messages. I have had to get in touch after having my card cloned in India, and also to raise a dispute with a merchant and they have been responsive and helpful. Having no withdrawl or transaction fees worldwide is fantastic. It's so easy to keep on top of your spending with the app and using spaces to keep money aside. I recommend starling to everyone!
