So Glad I Switched to Starling!

5
Having been with Santander for many years, I was looking for a new bank that was geared to online banking, something simple that worked - I am so glad I found Starling! The opening procedure was simple, the notifications are fab and timely, I LOVE. the “goals” feature where I can put money aside and it takes it off my available, but it’s still there if I need it. I love my Starling account, I actually enjoy online banking now!! Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

A very good bank

Although I've not been with the bank for a long time, I've found the bank to be very good, as you get notifications for all activities in your account. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020

Fantastic for travelling.

5
I previously used Revolut as my bank account whilst travelling internationally. However Starlings superior rates, lack of a weekend surcharge, and unlimited ATM withdrawals without fees means I’m a solid, genuine convert. I haven’t had any issues with declined payments or cash machines not working. Overall I’m extremely happy. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
