Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

The best bank.

5
The best bank. I recommend Starling to everyone I know and have gotten all my friends to switch over with no regrets. It's a modern banking app that allows you to save easily, it's intuitive and, best of all, the customer service is fantastic. I have never had an issue with reaching customer service, it's usually within seconds or minutes, and their phone line is never hidden and you're not forced to go through live chat or a robot. The staff are well-equipped to sort your issues there and then. Plus, zero international fees which is perfect for traveling! I never worry when I'm abroad. Reviewed on: 14th March 2024
