I travel to Europe very regularly and have used bank cards often. The cost to me was substantial so I tried pre loaded mastercards they still did not give me a good deal. My son who travels all over the world told me about the Starling Bank and neither of us have looked back. We have both saved hundreds of pounds and are extremely grateful to Ann and her brilliant banking system. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

A breath of fresh air.

I’ve moved form HSBC, I’ve used them all my working life. Within days of opening Starling I knew I would transfer my account. When a start up can beat one of the longest established banks within such a short time the future for starling is amazing. I would recommend transferring, to anybody, without hesitation.

Wonderful faceless bank :)

...why didn't Starling come earlier? The pains of modern day banking ended with Starling entrance. Fantastic bank; Real-time alerts, very interactive ios app and a very responsive customer care team. I wouldn't ask for any more. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Super fast set up, really clever app, I especially love the Spaces feature for savings. Really appreciate the interest on current account balances. Constant improvement is so refreshing compared to the high street banks. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
