So easy to use, however I have had a small problem trying to bank a cheque at the post office but this is the responsibility of the post office to have envelopes Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Excellent - even for oldies!

I reach the age of 80 this year (hopefully...), and believe me, if you can use a modern smartphone the Starling account really is worth consideration. I receive a Euro pension and have a linked Euro account. When travelling, the Starling debit card senses which currency account to charge, no exchange involved - simples! - followed by notification to the phone. Very smart. Reviewed on: 21st January 2020

Convenience, immediacy and control over my account.

I like to know instantly what I have spent and what the balance of my account is. I get this to perfection. Sometimes when I am at an ATM or a shop till, I hear the update come through on my phone before the cash has been dispensed from the ATM or the till receipt has printed out. Brilliant!
