Having had accounts at several banks over the years, I can honestly say that Starling has impressed me the most. They are modern and efficient and come out ahead of my second best - First Direct. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Works

5
So much better than my old-school bank. Upcyo-date balance is the crucial one, but "spaces" is also so helpful. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Great Service

5
I opened an account with Starling primarily to use while travelling in Switzerland and Germany as they offer fee free transactions in Swiss Francs and Euros, with an exchange rate that easily beats high street bureaux de change. Since then I have been using Starling for day to day sterling transactions. I love the real time notifications of spending and the ease of using the app. Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
