An efficient service, easy to use.

I have accounts with several banks. Starling is the most efficient and easy to use by mobile phone. It is a no fuss bank and no problems have arisen with it so far (in 10 months). The Euro account additional option is an excellent advantage too. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

I opened an account for my holiday spending in Europe. The account is so simple to operate and you get the best rate of exchange and the card is accepted even in tiny shops and remote restaurants. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

New, fresh and convenient

Changing banks was a huge step to make for me but couldn't have been happier with the Starling product and customer service. I have a persoanl account, joint account and a Euro account and am waiting in anticipation for news on when the Starling credit card will be available as this will complete my Starling experience. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Such good service

5
The account was easy to set up. It is so simple to use and I like that expenditure is confirmed within seconds. It is excellent for use abroad and I also love that I receive interest each month. I recommend Starling to anyone discussing banks and at least one friend has joined and is equally pleased with service. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

best move ever

5
never had such an easy and streamlined application process. approval took no more than a few minutes. the app is great with real time alerts and I've tried it for foreign purchases compared to my Santander zero card - it does the same job with the added extras. Cant recommend it highly enough Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
