A bank that looks after me and .my money

I am a frequent traveller overseas and around the uk. There are no charges on my account when spending overseas. I like the security arrangement on my account and any query I have is answered very promptly by message or a phone call if is urgent. Starling is the best bank experience I have ever had in my banking history. I am 65 years old. Thank you Starling bank. Reviewed on: 26th March 2022

I’ve been with starling since their very early days, I’ve been with most high street banks over the years and in comparison, their customer service, products and the general setup outshines them all, I’ve never felt more secure and in control of my money. They deserve all the recognition possible. As soon as my daughter was the right age she got a Kite card, I love being able to keep an eye on her spending and she is always aware of her spending, put this next to an alternative well know company and it far surpasses it, she has her own app, card and loves it. If they did mortgages this is the first place I’d look too, they’d be able to achieve anything they put their minds too and I cannot wait to see what they do next. I’ve loved following their journey and I can’t think of anyone more deserving. I cannot thank them enough! Reviewed on: 26th March 2022
