I will choose starling bank again and again. I started a current account in 2018. I have gone ahead to open a business account and the romance is just getting started. No regret whatsoever Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Seemless opening, great during my 5 weeks in the Far East. Loved instant confirmation of my spending in local currency. Now I mainly use it as an entertainment card. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
