Really the best

I never have seen bank like this . I talk to everyone about starling. I am from Bg and I live in London for 3years . I have hsbc card from the beginning and about 1 year and 2-3 months ago I did Starling bank . From the way I created it to the way I used it overseas, I was excited and i am still excited. I recommend it to everyone , and to the people who don't live in UK-"Go and do it ". Starling +s: 1. Creat by your phone at home ( I just took photos of my documents and record myself on video and maybe something more , but it wasn't took more than 15-25 min , the account was immediately created , and I get 500£ overdraft immediately as well ( for the period the money help me a lot ) , low overdraft fare 2. The best app without 1 glitch for all time I use it . 3. Travel !!! It is amazing really. No fare to pay somewhere (it is usually for the banks) , but here is no fare to withdraw!!! Not just the EU countries , it is everywhere, all the world!!! I never have seen something like this . But it is not the best , the best is and unreal is the course when you withdraw or pay with other currency. When I saw it my mouth was opened for a minutes . It is better rate than Google show you when you check for example: GBP to EURO or GBP to MAD . I checked it by myself in Morocco, France and Bulgaria. Gbp to bgn 1:2.29 shows google yesterday , I paid 340bgn it is took me 147.62gbp it is 2.303... it is better. Usually in good exchange bure the course is 0.05-0.10 less than Google. In bad bure is possible everything:):):) Highly recommend it !!! I hope the bank we grow up in all Europe and after everywhere , it will make the financies for everyone much better and easier . Thank you Starling Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Good service, easy way to bank

Saves me a fortune in fees abroad. Can see at a glance what is in my account and spending alerts are great Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Get the teenagers signed up

From the very start when my card arrived in a beautiful high quality envelope I felt like Starling cared about my custom. The saving pots are a fantastic idea - a high tech version of my Granny’s jam jars labelled with all the various weekly bills. I’ve encouraged my teenager to also start saving and he uses his account for Applepay. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Friendly staff and did what I wanted it to do - be right in the heart of the Waterloo Battlefield.

I took out the account in 2019 and the ease and efficient way that communication between account holder and bank is so good in these days of less efficiency from others. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Amazing online bank

Such an easy bank account to set up and use. My friend recommended me, i then got a recommendation from my husband, then I recommended both my parents. It was so easy to use especially as we work shifts sending money to each other is a breeze with nearby facility and instant alert to spending, it took longer for us to talk about setting up a joint account than the 3 mins it actually took us as existing customers! Use the virtual card in apple wallet and quick delivery of the actual card for spending over £30, and shows what category i am spending money on. This year going to use the spaces facility to save money. I am yet to figure if they are going to allow online deposit of cheques like my other bank account does Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
