Very good for travelling

Used in Hongkong, saved £100s as there is no transaction fees and the exchange rates are MasterCard rates which is much better than money exchange shops Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

The App is excellent. I am able to pay overseas easily, without accruing ridiculous and out of proportion charges. Flexible debit card allows payments anywhere in the world without fees. Great exchange rate too thanks to the link with MasterCard. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

Everything the antiquated banks isn't

My account was open in seconds and my card arrived the next day. I was up and running in seconds. My last Account took the bank of Scotland six months and lots of hassle to open and I swore I'd never go through that again for any bank. No charges for anything I do, my previous bank charged me every single month. No errors as everything is automated. My previous banks all made regular errors and then made me call scripted foreign call centres where language barriers and frustrating scripts made it impossible to resolve. When I spend money Mt starling app tells me before I even get a receipt what's been debited..if anyone else managed to clone or find my card, I can switch it off and on at will my previous banks meant the stress of that call centre again. I'm delighted with Starling Bank, I am sharing with everyone and I look forward to everyone realising that they don't have to put up with high street banks ever again. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
