Brilliant bank!

I was recommended Starling Bank by a friend to save and use for our Thailand holiday. I signed up and started saving which was super easy and loved their spaces part of the app which allows you to save for separate things. I used the account whilst abroad in Iceland and also for our Thai holiday we have just returned from. Super easy to use, loved the fact it immediately tells you what you spent when you use it and why the currency conversion was. Also love the app and it’s breakdowns. Will continue to use as a very happy and content customer Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
