Excellent bank

So easy and quick to send and receive money. I actually left the bank I’d been with since a student- over 30 years because they wouldn’t let me send money abroad- so old fashioned. At starling I have control over my money 1”and am not treated like an imbecile for sending money to a trading account. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Super easy & reliable banking

Switched to Starling

5
Joined Starling last year and transferred my First Direct Current account to them . Really impressed with just how simple it was . Got fed up with First Direct scaring the pants off me with Security procedures after having to deal with my late Fathers probate so decided to switch most of my banking requirements to Starling . Couldn't have been easier .The app is veru customer friendly and even the most techno phobic person would have no problem in using Starling as their preferred banking provider Thanks Starling and well done !
