Excellent with all my travel

I initially opened an account as I travel between the UK and US often, and it quickly became my main bank account. Its a fantastic bank, I've never had any problems, and I have referred friends and family to their service. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

The way banking should be

Easy to use but powerful, hasn't let me down once. Immeasurably better than the HSBC online banking I was using before. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Banking made easy

5
I stumbled across Starling on Facebook and so glad I did. The transfer from my bank to Starling was so easy, they do everything for you. I have both business and personal accounts with them. I love the app I feel in control of my finances and I’ve introduced a few friends. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Brilliant for using in the USA

5
This car has changed the way me and my family spend money in the USA. We no longer take ANY cash with us making it feel so much safer and giving us peace of mind. We love that there is no charge for using in the USA and it uses a great rate each day! We also transfer each other money daily and its fast and easy. I loe that it gives you instant notification of GBP and USD spend! So helpful Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Fabulous product!

The best bank we've ever had the good fortune to use. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
