Starling - Simply the best

5
Have been banking with Starling for just 2 ½ years now. Used the debit card for a 5 week road trip in the USA just after opening account and absolutely no hiccups at all. Great foreign exchange rates saved us a lot of fees. Have since started to use Starling as my main bank account as everything works well and good customer service if ever needed.

Initially my only gripe was no internet access, but this was introduced fairly quickly and works really well. I have already recommended to many friends and discovered that some already had accounts. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
