Resolved expensive Spanish banking

5
Using Starling Euro and Sterling accounts has saved me a small fortune in paying costs associated with our holiday home in Spain. Spanish banking was bureaucratic, expensive and with minimal customer service. Starling showed us how modern international banking should be done, with low fees and minimal complications. We now use it in the UK on on all our travels. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

A startling discovery

5
Seeking a current account that my wife and I could use for shopping and we happened upon starling. Set up was incredibly simple, cards arrived really quickly and making and receiving payments was an absolute doddle. Even paying cheques was effortless. Living in a rural location where access to a diminished number of high street banks has been challenging Starling has really been a massive help not only locally, but we can use it on our travels abroad.

An amazing Genie

I was introduced to the Starling Bank by a relative who explained to me in just a few words about Starling Bank, as I was looking for something quite similar. This Bank is "The Best" as I could use the debit card transactions on my travel abroad and locally. I could see my cash converted to the local currency and the payments were so very easy and accurate. No hassles and trustworthy. Very Efficient and also gives advice on different savings! I found this magical! All the best! And looking forward to more good services from "STARLING BANK" Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Best bank

These have been the best bank I’ve ever used so simple and easy. I was worried about online banking and had tried other banking systems and really struggled. Starling made it simple,quick and easy to understand and the app is absolutely great I can lock and access easily when ever I need to which is great. Staling no.1 Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
