A whole different banking experience

I love the immediate visibility of transactions in app, pairing of starling accounts online for easy instant money transfers and value for money on free transactions when travelking abroad. I had one query on my account, contacted them and spoke to someone and the matter was resolved instantly. A whole different banking experience. Reviewed on: 20th January 2020

Brilliant for Use Abroad

Easy to use bank with great travel credentials

Great bank - so easy to transfer money and have quick in depth looks at your current spending. I use as both my current account and joint account. Amazing for when travelling abroad as you don't get charged for using different currencies (within a normal holiday spending amount). 10/10 Reviewed on: 20th January 2020
