Best online banking

Best bank I've used and its amazing services and reliable.. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

It's simple, easy and works!

Great bank and service. The app is very user friendly, everything works and there is a fantastic user experience. Two things I would like to see changed are 1) the ability to have more than one current account (limited to one as of writing) and 2) sort the issue with PayPal so you can transfer funds out of PayPal to the starling account (an issue that they are working on alongside MasterCard. PayPal thinks Starling is a credit account and not a current account and does not allow money to be withdrawn to that account). Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
