Made the jump and wouldn't change.

I left Monzo worrying about my security and went to First Direct who really messed up the switch process. I then saw a tv advert for Starling and did a bit of research and since joining I haven't looked back, great customer service and fantastoc tools. Can't wait to see the continual developments in the coming year. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Good helpful bank

Starling offer a good service and even pay a little interest on ordinary accounts. They also do not charge to withdraw money from a machine abroad which saves having to take loads of cash with you when you go on holiday or on business Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy Banking

As a 64 year old this is the best banking experience you could ask for. Simple and straightforward banking at its best. Just wish this had been available when I was alot younger. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Just Brilliant Banking

5
joined Starling in its infancy just needing a card to use on my honeymoon to Florida. Since we came back I have steadily moved almost all my banking over to starling because they just do everything so simple and instantaneous. I cannot praise them more. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So easy

5
I use my card abroad and home with ease no need to exchange money and I like that the saving pot doesn’t show on my balance screen so I can forget that it’s there saving up nicely for my holiday, just drawing cash abroad would make this card unbeatable Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
