A New Concept in Banking

I came across Starling Bank by chance on MSE, am I glad I did. I love the way I receive a text literally within seconds, even before the cash has come out of the cash machine or the cashier has handed over my receipt so I know that if the worst was to happen and someone was to steal my card and try to use it I would be notified instantly. I used the card in Australia & Hong Kong recently, market leading exchange rates and best of all no charges at all for overseas use, what a welcome change from normal high street bank accounts who normally charge £3-£5 for every £100 spent. The bank has the mentality of not wanting to stand still and wants to find new ways of banking that smash all the traditional ideas to bits, I have no hesitation in recommending this bank to other people, friends or strangers, and think you deserve not only the nomination but the top prize.

Brilliant modern banking. Excellent fast and friendly customer service instantly through phone chat, instant updates with every penny spent. Refreshing & easy - a big change from all the archaic fuddy duddy banking that we all grew up with! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Excellent for every aspect my bank needs

Initially I went to Starling because of their Euro exchange rates, but as time has progressed I've bought into every relevant service they introduced. Excellent customer service, interest, introduction to collate my pensions into Pension Bee, immediate notifications, pay in to Post Office etc. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
