Amazing bank, advising all my friends

I was looking for a bank to help me battle fees while travelling abroad. I came across Starling and have been using them ever since. People complain about foreign transaction fees but not me! The app is easy to use and helps me keep track of my spending. I’ve also recently availed of the joint account with a friend making meals and outings no issue! A fantastic bank that I constantly recommend to friends! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019

Makes my money my own!

5
This account is the best I have ever had, it tricky does make my money my own no matter where I am in the world with no fees for forgin currency and the best exchange rates. It gives me confidence when traveling and truely excels over all other accounts! Not only that but the app is incrediable - the online chat helps work out any problems instantly without the usual terrible ‘security check’ that all other accounts continue to insist on doing despit the fact it is totally out dated. This account really is made for the world as it is today, on the move and accessible everywhere and I love it!! Reviewed on: 9th February 2019
