Fantastic experience with Starling

5
I was an International Banker for over 30 years running all Back Office, Operations, IT, Governance and Operational Risk & Continuity for 3 major banks. At last, a bank that not only cares about its customers, but provides its customers with exactly what they want and often things they didn't know they needed. Its excellent in every way. Do not sell out! Reviewed on: 24th February 2023
