Having a fantastic customer experience!

4
My experience of Starling so far has been faultless, its very simple, and easy to use. I only hold back my last couple of stars because I haven't gone 'Full Starling' yet, and I have a niggling fear of my my account being frozen for no reason (this may be media fear mongering, but it would probably ruin my life if it actually happened) when I do eventually take the leap. That being said, I'm not a fraudster, so I shouldn't have anything to fear! The affordable overdraft is a very attractive component and that alone has already helped me towards better financial stability. Thanks Starling, keep up the good work.
