Straight forward banking, as it should be

It's just brilliant. I can see the second I send or receive money. Super cool that I don't get charged to use my money when abroad - just a good and honest exchange rate. I love this bank! Reviewed on: 5th January 2020

Easy to use and reliable

5
Easy set up and great features withing bank account. Instant payments in and out. Hassle free access to banking app. Reviewed on: 5th January 2020

Most modern and easy to use bank out there!

5
When I first opened my account with Starling, the process is so simple and done in just a few steps, far much easy than your normal high street banks process. The app is always up to date and real time and just plain and simple to use for anyone! The notifications that are real time also is a great feature, letting you know when you spend, receive or when a bill has gone out! Definitely will recommend! I’ve signed up 3 other people because of how good starling is, I never done that with my previous bank! I could go on. Reviewed on: 5th January 2020

Banking as it should be!

This bank leaves the old established banks in the past where they belong. It even outperforms most of the new wannabe online banks. Still waiting for the catch but hey so far so good.. Reviewed on: 5th January 2020

Couldn't make banking any easier

Banking made simple. Everything to hand and effortless. I have both personal and business and cannot fault anything. Business banking without fees... That's just one benefit. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020
