Brilliant bank for foreign travel

This is the second year I've gone travelling with my Starling card. Withdrawals are easy from any ATM, paying for goods and services is a doddle. I love the fact that the card can be locked so if it gets lost no'one can use it. All transactions are immediately notified via my smartphone so it's really easy to kee track of expenditure. Best of all..... No fees and brilliant customer service. Thank you Starling, long may you fly. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Great all round

With instant spend alerts on phone and watch, I feel safe using my Card abroad. Currency exchange is at a fair rate with no commission charges, so that’s another great reason for using abroad. I love how easy it is to see my balance and spend, and to transfer cash between accounts. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Easy to use

The starling bank card is fantastic to take abroad. Very easy to use and no conversion charges when using in other countries. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Best Bank

It's the first bank that seems to be truly 'modern'. The app is incredibly intuitive and easy to use not to mention the round up feature and 'spaces' feature make put money aside for little projects effortless. I only moved to Starling because of the free foreign transactions (I travel a lot with work) but I have found them to be so much better than my previous high street bank that I can't believe it took me so long to change!

Great banking done well

Easy to apply, prompt reply’s, straightforward app, easy to monitor money even whilst abroad. Thank you Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Starling Bank are epic!

Swapped to Starling Bank from my old bank because I wanted to manage my money better. Not only did I get my wish but I got a whole new way of banking. Being disabled is hard enough without having to go to physical bank so Starling Bank is an all round solution for me. Plus they care about their customers and their Twitter feed cheers me up as well as being informative. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Refreshing banking

It's great to have a bank that actually wants to help you rather than look down at you. Very refreshing Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

A Breath of Fresh Air

I believe that this bank is the best thing to happen within my experiences of using banks, both on the High Street and online. I am kept up to date with a notification as soon as there is any movement within my account helping me to keep on top of my finances, this also alerts me instantly to any fraud or mis-use. I would recommend this bank to anyone 100% if not more Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Perfection

An amazing service, professional, dedicated and professional staff, no annoying appointments needed, they’re available whenever needed, and no parking issues when you need to speak to someone, I can do everything I need to do from my workplace or the comfort of my home, fantastic, thank you starling bank. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Innovative banking

I have had many bank accounts over the years. Many try hard to modernise their approaches via apps and tools within whimsy holding on to traditional methods. The main reason I opened a Starling account was for travel ease. I was fed up getting hit by bigger than expected bills when my transactions were updated - eventually. I love the rates and transparency of using starling abroad. I am also blown away by the very fresh, modern mobile savvy approach that Starling use - it takes mobile banking to a new level ! Thank you ! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
