Excellent bank

One of the best things about the Starling account is that when I am travelling Europe I can easily transfer pounds to euros at a very good rate and use the same card for payments in Europe as well as the UK Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

A bank for our times

5
I joined Starling from one of the UK banking majors and never looked back. The platform is efficient and has plenty of features to make my life easier (from Spaces, to virtual cards for specific uses, to things as simple as being able to share my bank details with a click), there has never been a security breach or system-is-down problem and customer service is top notch.

Best Bank

I’ve been with starling for a few years and cannot think of leaving them. They have been absolutely terrific from day one with the best customer service experience (unlike chip) and excellent assistance when something isn’t quite right and can be contacted anytime of day. When they say they will get back to you, they do… take note high street banks! Reviewed on: 31st March 2023
