Easy

5
Very easy to set up, easy to manage your money.. just a great experience all round. Would recommend to anyone.. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Excellent experience so far

5
Card services has been the best I've experienced. Being able to turn on / off certain features, e.g. disable when I'm not sure if it's lost without having to call up and reorder a new one which arrived 2 days later... simplicity I don't get with HSBC. Not to mention the fee free currency exchange. I haven't transferred all of my banking over so I don't know if the honeymoon period will persist but so far, excellent. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Nothing bad to say

5
The whole app and banking process is seamless, painless and intuitive. A bank needn't be revolutionary to be noticed, rather just do everything a bank should do well. Big banks take note: Starling is well ahead of the curve. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020

Versatile and customer focussed

5
Easy to open the account, helpful staff, great app, no fees to take cash out overseas (and no limit), overall great bank. Reviewed on: 28th January 2020
