The future of online banking

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

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!

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

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.

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

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

Easiest and best account on the market

Starling curren accounts not only pay you monthly interest on your balance, but also provide real time updates of card transactions and online purchases, helping to quickly identify any fraudulent activity. Starling also notifies you once your balance drops below a certain threshold. Furthermore, it takes, at most, 3 minutes to set up an account, and 5 days to receive your card. Easily the best bank I've ever been with, with 24hr customer service via live chat or telephone. Have recommended them to friends which have also opened accounts! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
