Best company I’ve ever dealt with. Clear, communicative in a concise minimalist way. Amazing features and customer service, just keeps getting better, they have their finger on the pulse of what is an ideal service for the average modern day adult.

I have foundStarling bank to be simple, slick and above all efficient, would recommend it any time over the major banks who seem only intend on giving us nothing in return for investing our money Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Excellent bank

5
I first joined Starling ready for a trip to Australia, as they were one of the few banks not to slap on excessive extra charges for withdrawing cash when overseas. Since joining, I have enjoyed the healthy interest on my balance, the excellent backup and the simple to use app, the healthy ethos of Starling and am very seriously considering making Starling my main account and closing my previous bank account.
