Easy to use, reliable and effective

Many other banks offer free FEX withdrawals for free and then ultimately end the service and apply charges - not with Starling. They are focussed on the customer's need and ease of experience which is exemplified through the user friendly app and excellent customer service. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Easiest bank I have ever dealt with
