I've got both business and current bank accounts, and the bank is very fair, the staff are so respondent and helpful, And understanding, and I am a pain in the bottom, believe! I cannot think of any problems I have had with this bank, and they have something for every requirement. And it is so easy to bank with them! I do not need to step out of my house. Thank you Starling, you are great. I hope you join the era of cryptocurrency next ;-) Reviewed on: 9th December 2018

Future Banking for today

To boldly go where no bank has gone before. Just like the best sci-fi, that sees the future before it happens. A bank that reflects the power of tech in the modern digital world. Just like Captain Kirk or Picard, explore, navigate through the virtual space of the banking universe and if necessary fire the occasional photon torpedo at anything that threatens your financial security (although setting phazers to stun should suffice in most unfriendly encounters as you'll come across more Ferengi than Klingons. For non sci-fi geeks that's like dealing with opportunist thieves rather than major online fraudsters) Command your finances from the "bridge" of the "Starling Enterprise", sorry I mean the app. Seems like everyone on this planet called Earth has a smart device. So why not use it to keep your money at your fingertips. So all in all do everything thing that you would with less evolved species of banks but with a more fingers on approach and at warp speeds if you need to get out of a sticky situation quickly. Oh and don't forget fee free foreign transactions for when you leave the UK Galaxy and venture further afield into Europe or beyond. (Great for online shopping from Amazons sister sites in Europe or buying an exotic cocktail from the cantina in Mos Eisley or a sangria in Fuerteventura) So if you're hesitating making the hyperspace leap into Tech Banking, I would say ...Make it so.....Engage.! Live long and prosper! Reviewed on: 9th December 2018
