Amazing

We've set up a joint and person accounts. The app is amazing, the spaces is a wonderful way to flip banking on its head. The app notifies every payment which is great for the joint account - allowing us to easily to see spending and track balance with ease. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Ease of use everything in well developed app

Very convenient banking app lots of tools to use Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

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
