You won't regret it

I was a bit worried about moving from a "big bank" to what was an unknown bank. It's been about 3 since the move and it's been great! The app is incredible, the customer service has always been helpful and also resolved issues first time. I'm loving where this bank is going and I'm fully invested. Highly recommended 100% Reviewed on: 8th November 2019

No fee's

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

Never loved a bank more

Starling Bank is easy to use, beautiful to look at and it provides everything that you possibly need from a bank. It's the future but thankfully also my present! Reviewed on: 7th November 2019
