Very efficient

5
Perfect for travelling overseas as they do not charge for taking cash out of ATM’s. The app is very good at managing my money and it’s great to see where I am spending my money the most. Reviewed on: 7th November 2018

It really helps me manage my money Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Revolutionary, genuinely has improved my life

5
From the easy 5 minute set up with no hassle or paperwork (no pathetic jobsworth processes and policies like the high street bank I left), I have been hooked and telling my friends. Its saved my girlfriend hundreds of pounds a year in bank charges. I find the best method of managing finances is to have one account for wages to go in to and direct debits to come out of, then put all your disposeable income in to the Starling account for day to day spending. Its so easy to keep check on not spending too much or going overdrawn, and especially keeping track on how much you're spending at certain establishments... McDonalds!! Starling are great, the features are years ahead of the high street banks and the customer service can only be described as rapid in comparison to others. Thanks guys! Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Everything you could want from a bank.

Brilliant current account. Easy to manage. An amazing experience. Save on foreign transactions. And to top it off interest on any positive balance. Can't praise them enough. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018

Banking for 2019

5
I've been a Starling Bank customer since the beginning in May 2017, and I still love them just as much. You can see your spending in real time, it's easy to check your account whenever you want on your phone, and the new teal debit card looks so cool! Would highly recommend everyone to join them. Reviewed on: 6th November 2018
