Hello

Best online bank. Can work in europe with no extra fee .very fast payment Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Foreign Friendly, Real Customer Service and Secure

Very useful when abroad - obtaining money from ATMs without paying exorbitant fees or receiving poor exchange rates. Also, able to pay Euro accounts easily from my Sterling account without incurring high money transfer fees - I also didn't need to have a separate Euro account. Superb instructions and help when I had a problem with my banking App - proper customer service immediately. Also, the security of being able to prevent internet payments by someone else who may have sneakily got hold of your card and noted all details (just enable the feature when you want to make an internet payment and then disable it as soon as the payment is made). This is in addition to being able to lock the card against all types of payment. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking made simple!

I now save much better than before because: 1- it’s been made easy 2- it’s been made fun 3- it’s been uncomplicated 4- the interest is better than some savings accounts! Thank you Starling Bank for giving me a new and improved relationship with my money. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Everything I Didn't Know I Needed

Before Starling, I used about 5 different money apps to do everything I can do on my one Starling account. Coming from United States recently, it was so obvious that Starling was the bank for me and I recommend it to absolutely everyone. It tracks your spending and organizes it in categories that make sense and help tweak your budget. It gives you the option to save into multiple "spaces" at once and auto-saves for you with each purchase you make. I love the notifications I receive everytime a payment is made or money enters my account. I am able to quickly send money to friends who also have Starling, which is a lot because I recommended it to so many people. And the final plus is that the card is cute and the app is SO easy to use and very well designed, visually. Being an artist, those things matter to me and the aesthetic of Starling as a whole is visually pleasing and the functionality of it all does not let you down. Best bank and banking app ever.

Starling was recommended to me by a friend and what he explained was right every purchase recorded and lets me no on my phone instantly .

Now I recommend starling to all my friends and family too . Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
