Starling is a breath of fresh air. Really easy to use. Very quick to respond to customer service queries. The platform is sleek and simple (but in a good way). Reviewed on: 2nd February 2023

The perfect bank for holidays

5
I love using my starling account for when I travel or go abroad! I can easily transfer my holiday spends from my general bank account, & when I use it abroad it tells me the currency exchange . What’s more it does not charge a non-GB fee for the transactions in stores/restaurants abroad. I also find the starling account very useful for my savings goals as it has handy ‘spaces’, where you can schedule weekly/monthly/annual payments from one account into these saving ‘spaces’ to organise your goals better. Further to this, you can have multiple ‘spaces’ on the go all at once which is perfect for my short or long term saving goals. The design of the card is also pretty cool!!
