Couldn't ask for more from a bank

Only been using this bank for a few months now and it's been such a great experience. Everything from the user interface of the app to the customer service. Great job!! Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

Great experience!

The only thing Starling needs is two major features that Monzo currently offers; Get your salary a day early, and the ability to sort direct debits/standing orders into ‘pots’ so that you can split your outgoings to come out of a separate space so as soon as you get paid, you can see how much money you have left to work with for the rest of the month. Been a customer since October and so far I have zero complaints. Moved from First Direct as I tried them for 6 months but wasn’t happy with how they handled pending transactions (the money would reflect in your “available balance” but the actual transaction wouldn’t appear for 2-3 days, and now I get a notification as soon as a payment is made!) Spaces is a nice feature in order to move money back and forward quickly, but having a DD/SO dedicated pot would make Starling the ultimate choice! Reviewed on: 27th January 2020

A great product that is eay to use.

A simple to use current account that keeps you up to date with you spending and is way ahead of others with is no hassle additional account in Euros. The ability to switch the master card so it draws from either the euro account or the sterling one is great. The explanation of fees (often none) and exchange rates are clear and easy to understand. I hope a lot of travellers will take advantage of this product for their 2020 holidays and save a lot of money on the expensive transaction fees charged by other banks who either do not offer Euro accounts or charge a lot for them.
