What's not to like?

5
Starling bank is quickly becoming my primary bank account, something I never thought would happen with a mobile-only bank account. If it weren’t for the fact that I need a student bank account, Starling would definitely be my bank. The interface is lovely, the notifications are handy, and the card is pretty neat too. Only reason I haven’t given 10 stars is because most of my friends are students too, and need student bank accounts also. Currently hold accounts with HSBC, Santander, Barclays, and Metro Bank, and have recently been with Monzo too. None of them have anything on Starling bank. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Really useful abroad

Great for the near bank rates abroad while spending, saves ordering and carrying loads of Euros around Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great service and great bank

5
Although it took me a while to set up my account due to difficulty in uploading my documents, the service has been great. I particularly like using my card on holiday as I get a great exchange rate without any charges. I love getting the updates when I spend or transfer money. Also, I have used chat a couple of times and found the team extremely helpful. Overall a great bank and would highly recommend Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
