Just so easy

5
I just so easy to use this bank, the app is so intuitive you get alerts even if you spend 10p (which is good) money comping in, easy to transfer money. You get PDF of bank details for verifications. Never had a problem in paying anything, or transferring money around. Reviewed on: 1st April 2023

Fantastic bank

5
I was with another challenger bank before switching to Starling and thought what would be the point in switching to them - surely they must be all the same. How wrong I was. Starling is a fantastic bank and even with other banks offering cash incentives to switch at the moment, I wouldn’t consider moving because of how happy I am with Starling. Whenever I’ve engaged with starling, their customer service has been excellent. I’ve used starling abroad and found their service is brilliant and exchange conversion rates some of the best out there. I’d recommend anyone who wants a hassle free bank to consider Starling.
