Best bank I have ever been with

5
Although I was declined an overdraft due to bad credit, the banking team helped me get my finances in order and gave me the best advice. With a quick phone call rather than an app that charges you for this service each month. The app helps me keep track of all of my money and doesn't have hideaway charges like most banks. My bank statements that I used to have to wait for, are all ready and waiting for me on the app. Without any hinderance. I highly recommend this bank to anybody and also encourage young people/students to use this bank as it is ideal for sending/receiving money to friends and family instantly, easy account set up without having to travel to your local branch. This bank has the most easy going, hassle free process to solving issues its almost shocking. Reviewed on: 18th February 2020

It's been so easy using starlings current account. I love the ease of the app, the intuitive controls and the tracking of what you've spent where. It makes me think more about my budget and allows to control it far more effectively. One of the best things about it is the savings spaces! I save small amounts from each purchase without even thinking about it! Reviewed on: 9th February 2020
