I wish I'd changed sooner

Starling is fantastic, I simply can't give it enough credit. The service is extremely easy to use and provides constant updates and makes handling and keeping an eye on your money much easier. I used to be hit with multiple bank charges every time I bought items abroad or ordered internationally, these are now all gone and the rate I get is even better than those offered by the money exchangers locally, only 5 years ago this would have been a pipe dream. I live the fact that you are able to freeze or unfreeze a card with a click of the button, which works really well if you're in an area where pickpocket crime is high, even if the wallet is stolen it's limited to the cash I'm carrying at the time. Overall a fantastic service. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Starling Bank's offer of free ATM withdrawals and purchases overseas, interest on current account deposits plus the ability to switch your debit card instantly between £ & € is unique and outstanding. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Probably the. Most efficient bank account ever. No charges when used abroad. Fab features to encourage saving. On occasions k have had to ring customer services they are prompt, professional and efficient. Even sending a little gift when I changed my name after getting married Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Eeeeeeasy banking done right

I am looking forward to the day I can switch all my accounts to Starling. For now I use it for my everyday expenses and it is SO helpful. Planning ahead, being in control of finances, not having to worry about buying currency when going abroad... Yes, you need to join Starling! I convinced all my co-workers to do so and they are as happy as I am. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great new bank

Really pleased with this new bank. Effortless opening account and really like being able to check on spending and deposits. Can't fault the service and have already recommended it to others. Also like the chatty manner adopted for communicating with customers! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
