Having looked for a good account for when I go abroad, came across Starling and it's so much more than that. The phone app makes it easy to use, gives you instant balance notifications, the list is endless and it gives interest too! Reviewed on: 4th November 2019

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
