Starling Bank be the Best

5
Well I have dealt with the a number of banks in Republic of Ireland and they have been to my liking. Starling is similar but online and so quick in its response. I had an issue with money sent from overseas and they sorted me out immediately . I couldn't be more thankful to starling Bank. I am dealing here with regular banking and it's been a pain. Wait times are a lot . Master students (1 year ) are not given student status which is crazy because we come to the country as a student but other banks don't recognize us as students. Thank you starling for the best service . I am delighted and will definitely recommend u guys to everyone I meet Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

I opened an account with Starling last year, as I was fed up with my 30+ year-old acquaintance with my current bank. It has been smooth and easy. Everything appears instantaneously. I would recommend it without question. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
