Starling very difficult to beat!

5
Everything works for me with this bank. There is nothing to fault it. Customer service is 24/7 and UK based with well spoken staff, no strong accents to struggle with and no long waits for a reply. I earn interest every month Never go overdrawn I'm notified as soon as I make a card payment. I love all the separate spaces that can be set up to keep different funds apart from your main account. Especially like the ability to transfer money to keep separate for my bills. That way I know that what's left is what I have to live on for the remainder of the month. Easy paying in at any post office too. Keep it up Starling you are the best bank Reviewed on: 25th March 2022

The easiest bank to use ever!

I love the instant view and transaction updates. Making payments also could not be easier. Converting GBP to Euros happens instantly too! And finally, the ability to bank a cheque by mobile, so useful when dealing with older organisations that still use cheques. Starling is a modern professional bank that I like using for pure convenience. Reviewed on: 25th March 2022
