Nice Fit!

From opening my account, requesting an overdraft, spending money, everything has been achieved quickly. I'm still finding more facilities to use, like rounding up my spending and diverting change to savings goal. So much easier to use than my old bank. Wish I'd known about it years before!

Great service and products

I have used Starling as my out-and-about account for over 2 years, and in that time the product has become better and better. Although I have experienced no problems at all in that time, I have held back from switching all my banking to Starling. Why? I run three current accounts (to cleanly separate personal, household and motoring spending), but Starling only permits one personal current account per customer at the moment. When that changes, switching will be a no-brainer. Reviewed on: 24th January 2020
