Never had a problem

Starling Bank have been great, started using them from the start and watched them grow into a Bank. Customer service is really avaliable 24/7 for any issues, unlike some of the well known High Street banks. Fees have been very reasonable so far, some other start ups/fintechs have already hiked up their fees beyond Starling's. Reviewed on: 28th January 2023
