Amazing online bank

5
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

Fantastic

This bank makes everything easy. It’s also made it easier to see where I’m spending my money and where i need to cut back. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

I have to say this is the best inter-banking I have used so far

I really love the interface and layout of the app, it's smooth and easier to get in to but my favourite thing is probably the spaces. My life has become so much easier to organise my money into different section. I have recommended it to 5 of my friends so far and they really like the app. They even use it as their main account then using big banks like nationwide. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Exceptional Bank, beats all others hands down!

The standard high street banks are now like dinasors with inflexible accounts. Starling Bank changed all that when they allowed a sterling current account to be linked to a quick switch low cost Euro account. I currently am in Italy and changing my GBP to Euro takes seconds, I can quickly make payments in euros to shops and my partner plus take cash from The ATM. Fantastic customer service. This company get my vote 100% Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
