Makes banking easy

5
So easy to setup and easy to manage monthly budgeting and savings goals. Plus no transaction fees while on holiday in France! Reviewed on: 10th January 2020

Ultra modern, slick and cool

5
These guys are the Apple of the banking world. I've just fallen in love with a bank (!!!!) because they're seamless, modern, easy, sophisticated - the list goes on. I recieved my card in the post, I thought it was a classy invitation to an exclusive event, it was top class. I can pay for stuff immediately, before I even recieved my card. I can put money into virtual savings buckets. I get instant notifications when I send money into my starling account - INSTANT - how did they do that? It's a whole new banking experience. Why do we still bank with Barclays and Lloyds and blah blah blah, they're so old and so are their ways. My eyes have been opened to endless possibilities. I love this bank!

AMAZING BANK!!

Very easy to use the app and no charge using in abroad! Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Brilliant for travellers

5
Great to use both at home and abroad. The app gives you instant information on your spend including any exchange rate if you’re abroad and doesn’t change any fees like other banks for using your card overseas and the exchange rate is always excellent. I have recommended them to lots of friends Reviewed on: 9th January 2020

Open an account before going on holiday a year ago, found it so useful both at home and abroad, as they give instant notification of any money spent, and in sterling, great when your watching your holiday spending. Reviewed on: 9th January 2020
