I joined Starling Bank a short time ago and I haven't been sorry. Nice people with an interest in service and a willingness to help and support. Glad I opened my account. Thank you George T Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Almost Perfect

4
Just perfect. I opened an account to take advantage of the mastercard rate when I'm abroad. Love all the features. I don't know if it is a feature but I'd give it 5 stars if you could seperate money as it comes into the account i.e. into pots for rent, shopping, fuel etc. Otherwise, no complaints.
