Easy to use. Fantastic Fees

Amazing exchange rates & bank fees Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Fantastic bank!

Found this bank and account when planning to go backpacking for an extended period of time and Starling were definitely the best option with great international banking services and rates. Also controlling the entire account easily from my app is so handy and important these days when you never know when or which time zone you’re in to do your banking. I’ve had no issues since joining and only wish that they would expand to Singapore! Thanks Starling! Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

So clear, so easy, so helpful.

We started using Starling as we researched the best way to carry money while travelling. They have been invaluable. The application process was insanely fast, our cards arrived in two days and they worked beautifully in every country we’ve visited with NO fees. The app is an amazing life tool we didn’t know we needed. We get a notification on our phones of what we have spent and where within seconds. The app then organises payments into helpful categories and you can move them around, add notes and attach files to the payments. So ridiculously helpful for tracking our travelling budget. When I have had any questions - contacting Starling through the app has been easy and fast and they have been crazy helpful. To cap it all off - I actually earn interest by using my Starling current account!! Mind blown. With their new affiliation with the Post Office and Freepost cheque service - I will be moving my decade old bank account over to Starling as soon as we get back to the UK. Can’t wait. We love them.

Crisp, fast and just damn good

I've been with most of the big name banks over the years. Experience has ranged from OK, to downright terrible. Starling have nailed the tech and the experience out of the box. I work in the tech industry and this is the one I've been waiting for. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

This is one of the best service i have received from a Bank. The app is really useful to use and the ease of obtaining loan is excellent. Thanks Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Perfect and So easy to use

5
Extremely easy to use, thanks to the app, there is no way yu u dint know what’s going on on my account. I love the fact it tells you exactly where you have spend the money as well as the fact you can put money aside so easily. The rounding up to the next pound and putting the pennies aside is genius! Finally even as a current account it gives you a better rate than most saving accounts! Last but not least, each time I had a question, it was answered quickly and nicely. No downside for me Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Great app, great company communication

Probably the best banking app available today Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
