Easy peasy!

Been years with another major bank that have added charges increasingly and made it difficult even to sign in online! Starling app so easy to see, they notify you immediately you use your account which makes you feel so safe! Live them! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Great online only bank

I’ve been with Starling around 4 years now and have been impressed with the service. The biggest selling point for me is being able to use card abroad without all of the transaction fees that high street banks will try and add onto each purchase. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

This is a very easy to use Bank account, easy to open, easy to deposit money, easy to accept and make payments and I would have opened a Starling account earlier if I had been aware of this, I also use the Euro account and found this just as easy. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Continues to provide me with what has proven to be the best current account I've ever had. Does all the things I would expect from a bank in the twenty first century, fast, innovative, controllable. Top class. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
