Makes Banking a Pleasure

5
After reading reviews, myself and husband both joined Starling Bank. This is definitely a must have Bank Account. Easy to set up and get going. The app is very good for watching what your spending with instant alerts to your phone app. Spaces for saving is fantastic and you don't even notice the automatic transfer to this section, rounding up your spends to is a great way to say too. Without a doubt this is the Best Bank account that I've had. Thank you Starling Bank for making Banking with you a pleasure... Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Happy Banking

Such a user friendly bank to work with. Especially Impressed whilst travelling in the USA, as soon as you made a transaction you would get a text message with the amount spent in pound, no charges and the exchange rate was very competitive. Extremely impressed and would happily recommend to friends & family. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020

Excellent account, no drama

SIMPLE & DIRECT

5
Previous banks charges were incredibly disproportionate. Starling Bank offers a feasible and simple, direct way of handling all of my tranactions at home and abroad with extremely low or no extra hidden fees. I would recommend Starling Bank to anyone who finds the current mainstream banking gluggy, tedious and ridiculously over priced. Thank you. Reviewed on: 25th January 2020
