How all Banks should operate

When Tesco said they were no longer operating current accounts i was perturbed, so gave Starling a go, and very quickly i was back in action. Easy to set up and so good i persuaded my fiancee to open an account. Then we got married and it took all of two minutes to set up a joint account. Super easy . Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
