So simple and straight forward

5
Starling has been so simple and straight forward to use since signing up. And with more and more features added every other day, it easily rivals the bigger banks out there. Their debit card is one of the best to use abroad as there are no fees - you simply pay the rate of the day in whichever country you're in. Highly recommended! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The best bank in the World

I was an HSBC customer and made the jump to Starling about 1year ago. They are so easy to deal with, nothing is to hard for them. I tell anyone that will listen how good they are. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent Bank!

5
I started off using Starling Bank purely for use overseas, as I travel a lot and was attracted by their free currency exchange when using the card abroad Very quickly however I became impressed by the bank and its modern service and set up for the current age, and I have now moved my salary and all my Direct Debits to this account and closed my former NatWest account The debit card they give you is very smart looking and I’ve had many a retail worker ask where it’s from An excellent bank. I look forward to them growing and growing Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Spot On!

Been a customer for 18 months. I’ve recommended you to loads of people who now bank with you. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
