Love the fact that I can use my account internationally without incurring crazy high transaction fees, as well as instant top-up from my other UK bank accounts with immediate notifications of credited funds and any subsequent POS transactions - all simple stuff really but what a great customer experience !

Couldn't believe how easy it was to set up, every time I use my card it instantly comes up on my phone how much I've spent, where I've spent it and how much I have left, so easy to use abroad. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Hassle-free banking!

5
I was recommended Starling Bank by a friend and the process of opening the account was so easy and straightforward. It really is the way banking ought to be done. What I really like is getting the updates on spending, saving and interest payments in to my account. Another superb thing is that when I misplaced my card, I simply locked the PIN on the app, then when I unlocked the number once I found the card! I recommend Starling Bank to family and friends. Hands down the simplicity is fantastic. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
