Dead wood

They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

Simple Account but loads of features

5
The facility of having immediate notification of each and every transaction which goes through the account as it happens provides excellent reassurance. The exchange rates provided for overseas transactions are the most competitive I have seen in a bank account and no charges for ATM withdrawals overseas. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

The best Banker ever I had in life

5
I love digital way or doing. I applied for an account when they were testing the service their service. I got my account opened with lot of features already onboard so it's way more than expectations. Customer care is amazing, dont meed to wait in call to hear the frustrating message your important lile other banks . Just open and start a chat, boom instant reply and solved the queries in few minutes. Transfers, managing cards, payments, goals, handling funds and much much more. Im very happy customer of Starling and love their work and innovation. Kudos to the entire team, my best wishes for them to receive this award. In one line if I want to say about the bank "Starling always delivers more than customer s expectations" Thanks, Vidhya Sagar Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
