Starling have made my life so easy! I was so frustrated with my HSBC current account. It was so difficult to use and I kept getting locked out of my account. Thanks for making every day banking as easy as it should be. Reviewed on: 31st March 2023

The BEST current account

5
I switched from another ‘leading’ high street provider but the online service and interface was frustrating.. difficult to add payees, make payments via a card machine and long delays to transfers, added charges for overseas transactions etc. I moved to Starling and have never regretted it! The online functionality and services available are second to none. I have recommended the account to friends who have also switched and never regretted the move. Quite simply.. Starling is superb.
