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!

Banking with the times

Refreshing to use a bank putting customers first and using the latest technology to provide the best service (not withholding Apple Pay for years like Barclays because they think they know best) Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
