Tourist that shops like a local

I LOVE using my Starling card abroad! I use my personal account for all travelling. Last year I went to Spain and could pay in euros with no transaction fees, and the % rate was actually better than what I got when exchanging money at a bureau! My card worked in all the ATM’s and instantly reflected in my account in GBP. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Just excellent

Can’t fault it. Easy to use, instant notifications...everything you need from a bank. Love the spaces feature which makes achieving your goals seem so much more attainable. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Great bank, very user friendly. Would recommend Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Top bank, would never go back to legacy

5
Starling has helped me build up a savings habit through their amazing features like goals and roundups. I didn’t have these with my old bank and would often run out of money before payday and had zero savings, not any more. Top bank with excellent features and fee free abroad. I’ve even managed to sign my mum, wife, friends, colleagues and in-laws up to it! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Terrific experience and products

5
Easy, seamless switch to Starling Bank. Embraced the spirit of Open Banking; not just to a wider portfolio of services and products but the nature of business and customer service. Transparency and integrity above all else. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

I have been using starling bank since early 2017, and have never had a bank like it! My finances have never been so simple! The app is so easy to use and the customer service is second to none! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

Amazing banking experience

5
I never thought banking could be a nice experience, and I never for a second thought I’d ever be recommending or evangelising for a bank and yet with Starling I do, they’re a whole new breed of bank and I can’t get enough. The service, the product, the general ethos, love them. Reviewed on: 4th November 2019
