Not a greedy bank

5
Won’t charge you a million pounds for going into overdraft. Intuitive app, streamlined and smooth. Miles ahead of traditional banks. Only negative I can think of is having to post a cheque to deposit it, but that’s not a commonly occurring thing anyway. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

The way all banks should be!!

The smartphone app is fantastic and you get a notification of a payment made way before most systems in shops have authorised your payment. It's great to see where you have spent your money & on what. All my family have now opened an account with Starling & they all love it. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
