Best bank I have used. Love the instant notifications when you spend a show it divides your spend into categories to easily see where your money is going. Great savings pots with round up options when you spend. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Free cash withdrawals abroad

I travel abroad many times a year. I saved so much money, thank you to starling bank. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Simple, efficient and user-friendly

5
In the summer of 2019, I looked into the various digital challenger banks for setting up a new current account ahead of a trip abroad. I wanted something simple, efficient and good looking (not unlike myself) and with no overseas withdrawal fees. The only bank ticking all my boxes appeared to be Starling Bank, and so far I have been proven right! The sign-up process on the app was very quick and I received my debit card within a couple of days presented in a very snazzy welcome card. The app is so easy to use and is organised beautifully. Would highly recommend based on my experience so far! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

This is the most brilliant form of banking, this should be the way all banks should be. They should be looking at Starling as a role model for the future of online banking. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So easy and simple!

Since switching to Starling Bank everything has been so much easier! It's easy to set up, there's no hassle and the customer service is great. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A great easy to use real bank account with great features

5
It couldn’t have been easier to set up the Starling account, and the features such as Savings Goals and ‘round-up’ add to the experience. I feel like I have more control and understanding of what and where my money is going and i’m saving more than before. The connected joint account we opened is just as fantastic. Can’t recommend highly enough ***** Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
