Best experience ever at all

All the way I use starling for over a year and I had no issues with it, even when I’m abroad. Fast and perfect respond always from the costumer service. Apple Pay which is really important for me. Ps I always had trouble with others Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

So easy to manage

I opened an account originally for the improved exchange rates vs normal banks when I was in Japan. Now I'm closing my accounts everywhere except starling because they are so far ahead of the curve compared to the existing large banks. The ease of management, and customer support is better than anything else I've experienced, and the regular updates and improvements have reassured me that they're only going to continue providing me a great service.
