Just great banking.

5
Always 100% fantastic. Usually it's hard to get excited about a bank account but Starling have it all sorted and they even pay interest. The card is great - including the "only work when near to my mobile phone function" The easy of use abroad to pay for things using the card or pulling cash from a local ATM in the local currency and being charged a good conversion rate and no commission. It;s so good I've opened a business account too. And yes, I'd recommend it 100% to anyone. Go get your account! Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

No fuss and easy to use

Having banked with one of the big 3 UK banks for 40 years I grew increasing frustrated by the bureaucracy in operating both my personal and business accounts. Time for a change. I chose Starling because it was easy to open up the new accounts and to start yo use. 6 months later i am a fan and now the rest of my family has joined. Keep up the good work.
