I've never been excited about a banking experience before. But Starling is SO easy to use I've been super impressed and actually telling people about it. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Modern banking

5
Opened an account purely to use while I was away for the 0% fee for foreign ATMs - found the customer services and the app itself so easy to use, with features denied by my old bank, that I've now switched and not looked back. Looking forward to the availability of credit cards! Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Best bank out there without question

Friendly Internet bank

5
So pleased with the service from start to finish after signing up for a new account with Starling. Their switch process took the stress out of everything, being a single mum to 3 young children I'm stressed enough! Can't recommend these guys highly enough Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Starling is the best

5
Great customer service, super fast response and easy to use app. Everything is quite easy to understand and get used to and the layout of the app is just fantastic! Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Best real life FX rates for spending money abroad.

5
Others give limited ATM whitdrawals and charge weekend fees. Starling gives generous £200 a day ATM and charges no fees on the weekends. This makes it the best in REAL LIFE. Others may offer fractionally better rates but with many traps. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Remarkable Starling Bank

5
I opened an account a few months ago and it seems that everything that I would like the app to do is already available. I have recommended this bank to friends and family and would not have an hesitation in doing so. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020
