Amazing features!

5
Starling is so much better than the traditional (very outdated) bank I was with before. The difference is incredible! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

QUICK & EASY

5
Joined Starling because of its ease of use and instant notifications. I was pleasently suprised by the UI and would highly recomend it to any one. The access to my account via the post office compensates for the loss off a walk in branch. If the quality remains as the bank gets bigger, then its a no brainer. Good luck Starling Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Two thumbs up !!

I was sick and tired of getting ripped off with exchange rates well out of tune with the actual rates and then further penalised with charges for using my Capital One card abroad - the Starling Bank card has killed two birds with one stone. Well done Starling, I will no longer use any other card when overseas. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
