I travel a fair amount in Europe, and was getting hammered by bank charges for using my card. It is so refreshing not to have these charges anymore and to get a decent exchange rate. Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

This is the future of banking

Until I used starling bank I was never really bothered about banking , a bank account was just a place my wages went in and paid the bills. Now after initially setting up starling for fee free currency abroad I am just about to move all my payments and go all in with them and have paid a lot more attention to my money and how it works. The app couldn't be easier to use , can make a savings pot for each of your goals and allocate money seperately towards them . I had been terrible at saving until a feature like this but in the past year have saved enough for a holiday. The attach a receipt feature is a lifesaver as whenever I make a major purchase in store I snap a pic of it and upload it. Came in handy over the summer when I needed to return a fault item to store but had lost the actual paper receipt but had taken a pic of it in the starling app. All in all it Reviewed on: 7th November 2019

New Era of Brand - Excellent Bank

5
Joined Starling when I began my graduate job. Barclays had been the only bank I had ever used. So much ease with starling, no funny business, no delays in transferring money, helps you watch your spending - the option to make multiple saving jars is amazing. App is clear and clean, a bank that has given back control to the customer. I would recommend this to every graduate, that needs to adjust to a new wave of income. The little memos you get on your iphone when you buy stuff, also works well to shame you into spending appropriately. Customer service team is wonderful, they help you directly and swiftly.
