I’ve always had really efficient & excellent service from Starling. When utilising my card abroad, exchange rates & charges have been better than other providers I’ve used. If I had one criticism, it would be trying to accept funds from another country can be challenging & in some cases they just won’t accept a transaction. Reviewed on: 13th March 2024
