Get to use overseas

Only recently learned about Starling Bank perfect timing for a business trip to Saudi Arabia. No charges for cash withdrawals and best exchange rates. I also very much like that as soon as you have made an card purchase the amount shows up on the app in how much you have spent in pounds with graphics that indicate what sort of spending it was - thus helping you keep tabs of types of expenditure. It's a great idea to have saving pots - and be able to round up an expenditure to the nearest pound so that you can save this amount. You save without knowing it! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Wish I had found them sooner

From the very first enquiry I made, Sterling Bank showed they were different, amazing customer service. Once approved it takes about 3 days to receive your bank card, you also get to choose your own pin from the outset, no more pins through the post. Absolutely brilliant Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Excellent

User friendly and secure I have recommended this bank to all my friends and family Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Revolutionary Banking

Beautiful modern design that’s simple to understand and easy to navigate but offers a lot of modern features such breaking down spending habits. It’s amazing that it doesn’t charge for overseas transactions and withdrawals which was my main reason for opening the account. It also pays interest on credit balances, and at a better rate than the savings account with my other bank, and for no monthly account fee, all for free! So easy to open, what’s not to love!

Best bank I have ever been too

Never had a bank so easy to use . I was with bank of scotland but they were terrible and I thought give this a shot seecwgat happens. Super fast online banking so easy too see everything . Tells you how much you spent that day and what on . Tells you monthly Bill's etc . Let's you know about direct debts so can make sure got enough . Open up saving or that takes a second and can set up so it adds money when you spend . Could keep going but i have never experienced something so easy but so safe to use . Love this bank i have recommended it now my partner is going get one and my sisters and mother . Love it keep it up guys awesome job Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Easy & Efficient

Easy to open an account and easy to use. If there is any activity on my account I get a notification within seconds. If there is ever any issues, they are dealt with efficiently within half an hour or so. Easy to instantly transfer money into separate “goals” this is an amazing feature Highly recommend...
