Starling is the best bank that I have ever used and the best thing that I did was moving to them. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

WAS TREPIDATIOUS BUT...

5
I wasn't sure if I would like a totally virtual / online bank... would the app work ( have had bad experiences with other bank's apps) , would there be a human, a well-informed human, there to help if necessary..... But my experience so far has been fantastic. None of my worries have been realized , and I love the app. I used my card abroad, and the exchange rate was better than the FX company card I have used abroad previously, and it was useable everywhere. The fx card , despite also being Mastercard, was not.... so I was saved from embarrassment on several occasions. Very happy indeed with everything ! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Easy to use, prompt, fair pricing and exchange

The best account available. I used my euro account in Spain last summer . Immediate transaction notification, so every time I was asked if I wanted a receipt I already had acknowledgment from the bank . So much safer and a great exchange rate Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Recommendations made to many.

I am very pleased with the overall experience with this bank, it’s so much easier to use all the features, I personally love the SPACES! The app is also one of the best so far Highly recommended!! Thanks Starling for making my finances a lot easier to manage it Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Flexible, supportive bank.

5
Having moved from HSBC, I have found the app to be informative, clear and user friendly. Among other features my fav is the penny saving feature, saving without hard effort, but the app gives support in all my other financial control. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
