Truly Simple Banking

Opened my account in 2019 with the intention of using it solely for holiday spending rather than carrying cash, The instant alerts of what has just been spent are fantastic and even saved me £50 when I was scammed in a shop in Turkey and I got goods back for the overpayment. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Just a great bank!

I've been with Starling for a few months, and the experience has so far been faultless. Super easy and quick to set up an account; the instant notifications and automatic spending categorisation are hugely helpful; the app is easy to navigate; and the customer service team are very responsive. I am looking forward to taking this card abroad due to the lack of fees on foreign transactions. Even the newsletter is interesting! Would recommend Starling to everyone, except maybe those who prefer paper copies of statements/transactions as although statements can be exported from the app, I find it less convenient having to then transfer the files to a laptop for saving/printing.
