I'm sold on this bank and it's accounts. It's so easy, and as I work away from home a lot, its brilliant for us both to keep tabs on our finances wherever we are with such ease. Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

From opening the account to loading my first funds, to getting the card and the ease of use and information, totally exceptional experience Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Game Changer

5
Have been using Starling Bank whilst travelling through South America. It provides a truly fantastic app that allows me transfer money with ease. No fees when withdrawing from foreign ATMs is a huge bonus (provided that the foreign bank also does not charge). As soon as I get back to the UK I will be closing my Nationwide account and moving over to Starling in full. Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Easy, flexible, simply great

We have travelled extensively around the world in the last 12 months and Starling has been my go to card and made our travels so much easier. Thank you Starling!!! Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Easy to use - instant information!

No mistaking what you spend, where you spend and how much you have in your account - immediate information. No other bank is so sharp and just perfect! Reviewed on: 21st January 2020
