Amazing for travel

I was told about this bank from my wife who also uses it as she works overseas a lot and we are both sick of endless charges when abroad. Also being able to use it abroad with out telling them you are going and then still getting declined. (HSBC you should ashamed of yourselves for doing that) When talking to the customer service department when there is an issue always there and very helpful Reviewed on: 8th February 2019

The innovation and simplicity, opening and running a new Starling bank account is, quite simply light-years ahead of any traditional bank, my experience was also a lot better with Starling than with another 'new' bank, Monzo. Reviewed on: 8th February 2019
