Fantastic, Modern Bank

I only wanted a bank that offered a fair deal for managing and spending my money whilst travelling abroad but discovered a bank that exceeded all of my expectations in providing a fantastic current account. It was quick and easy to open, has a great customer interface and offers a healthy rate of interest. Starling Bank shows the competition how modern banking should be done.

I have current accounts with Lloyds, TSB and Halifax, I added Starling as I wanted a joint account with my wife. The set up is so simple and all at home, I now have a linked savings account, I added my own photo to motivate me, it's just a fresh bank without decades of history restricting it. Love it!
