Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

The best and it's free.

I love the app and the easy of use. No fees to use abroad. It's good as MONZO, but Starling wins the race because unlike monzo there is no limit to withdraw cash abroad with no fees. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Incredibly Accessible

Starling has opened a new perspective on banking for me. Someone recommended Starling on the basis of the functionality of the mobile app and it has honestly revolutionised the way that I interact with money. The app makes everything so straight forward and clear which I did not find with previous banks. Having notifications sent directly to my phone when I spend allows me to keep track of everything I buy which has allowed me to budget better as a graduate. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Quick, easy, useful

Best British Bank

Initially used for my banking needs on my university year abroad thanks to their policy of charging no international fees. Loved it so much I now use it as my main bank account back in the U.K.! Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

One of the best banking apps

Starling bank app is very easy to use and you can easily manage your money. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Literally what I needed!

5
Initially registered for Starling and Revolut, but never used Revolut. Because Starling Bank solved my hassle when I travel abroad. Now I don't use exchangers at all, just deposit money into Starling and tap away in other countries without worrying that I will be overcharged with fees, like the high-street banks and confident that the exchange rate is the best out there you can get. Keep on hustling Starling! Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

Thumbs up

Excellent bank with great customer service. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019
