having had my doubts about a digital only bank, i was so impressed in how quick and easy it was to set up an account and start to use it. Having recently travelled and spent in multi currencies whilst away, I was delighted to receive instant notifications on spending and the GBP rate. Highly recommend Reviewed on: 14th January 2020

Best Bank Account by far

I have been using Starling now for almoat two years. I am amazee by the speed of getting new features on board as well as fixing things. My top features are: - Instant notifications on payments - No fees on different currency payments (And the exchange rate are competitive, I checked this many times) - Easy international payments (EUR are cheaper than Transferwise particularly if you are sending small amounts) - Linked EUR account at no extra charge and I can use my bank card to pay Reviewed on: 14th January 2020
