Tomorrow's banking today

5
Having switched from a highstreet bank to Starling I was amazed at how fresh and slick everything worked. No more clunky web portals or retrofitted apps bolted on to archaic banking. Something new and purpose designed from the ground up. Love the summaries and control the app gives me, with everything conveniently in one place. Keep up the stellar work!

Simple online banking

Starling offer simple online banking with innovative features and no charges overseas, if only all banks were equal :) Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

It's so easy

I can manage my account so easily with the app. It updates immediately. I can budget by setting amounts aside in savings spaces for a bill that's not coming for a while. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

The best

Starling Bank is THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!

5
My review is being completely fair and honest based on my experience with having a personal Starling Bank account. Money transfers are easy, fast, efficient, I can create saving spaces and manage them in the easiest (and most fun) way ever, Starling has zero fees for international transactions, I was on holiday in Egypt in January 2022 and used my Starling bank card for many transactions, then it shows me on the app the transaction amount in British Pounds and Egyptian pounds, It is also very easy to extract an account confirmation letter if you need it as proof to an employer or otherwise. And many many more great things. Thank you, Starling! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
