Easy, visual, fresh

I signed up for personal account in order to get a business account and didn't expect to use it - but have totally converted as I really love the interface which helps me manage my money and savings. Its all been very straightforward and easy to use so can't comment on what its like if something goes wrong but given experience so far confident that would be dealt with well.

The ease of which you can open an account, from current, to joint, to business, to foreign, is fantastic. To me Starling is banking brought to the modern day. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

I started with a current account that would give me the best exchange rates and no fees to withdraw cash overseas. Since then I have opened a business account, and an extremely useful euro account. Highly recommended to everyone! Reviewed on: 4th January 2020

It’s fair to say that from the moment I went through the pain free Starling Bank account opening process I was hugely impressed. Since becoming a Starling Bank user, I can say for the first time that I like my bank. That’s saying a lot. Reviewed on: 4th January 2020
