So easy to setup and use

My daughter has had her Starling account for some time and she recommended them. Really easy to set up and use. I have opened a Euro account as we do a lot of travelling in Europe in our motorhome (free to withdraw euros). I also like being notified on any purchase, a great security feature. Eventually i will gradually move my current account from HSBC as in 30 years i have had no interest. First month on Starling with a small balance i made £0.45 interest. Highly recommended.

Simple

Over the past 55 years I've banked with most of the UK banks at one time or another, both personal and business, and can honestly say that Starling have proven to be by far the easiest bank I have ever had to deal with. No lengthy enrolment, no questions that they already have the answer to and no messing about. First class service. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
