Best banking experience ever!

The best part I like about Starling bank is that you don’t have to physically go to the branch to open any accounts. Highly recommended bank! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Refreshing

It's fantastic and refreshing. Makes you realise the inadequacies of traditional banks that we've endured for years. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Could do more for us

Starling are a pretty perfect bank. They don't charge stupid amounts for using your arranged overdraft, nor do they rob you for using your card abroad! They are very fair and simple, though I do think they should adopt a cashback extras feature similar to banks like Halifax and Barclays as that has saved me well over £100 and would be a god send!
