The future of online banking

5
Starling is what banking in 2019 should be. It’s years ahead other, more popular/mainstream banks thanks to its online only approach; i made the switch from Lloyds in the summer as wanted a card i could use abroad without being charged. Never looked back. I recommend it to everyone! Beautiful app design, great customer support. Feels much more modern than any other bank. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Modern banking for modern life

5
Online banking designed from the ground up, and a refreshing approach to foreign currency. Can't recommend highly enough. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

A revelation!

5
I was recommended Starling by a friend who had moved to Spain - it is by far the best current account to use in Europe, as they don't charge for debit card usage and their exchange rate is at the inter-bank rate. Starling offers a unique app-based banking service that is incredibly easy to use, fast to set up, and with great features. To top it off they are ethical investors. I haven't found a single thing that I don't like about them yet! I already have recommended them to friends. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Fresh new feel on banking

5
Starling Bank creates a modern day banking experience that feels personal, easy to manage and excited about managing your finances. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Refreshing banking.

5
Everything is so simple and straightforward and they are coming up with novel ideas, paying off overdraft budgeting for example. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

How modern banking should be

5
So easy to set up without the need to visit a branch. I can't believe that an app only bank works so well. 24/7 support via webchat feels very personal and that the bank cares for its customers. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
