Just wondering whether anyone uses Starling Bank.
This is one of the online banks yeah?

I''ve seen a few that do, i'm not convinced enough yet to move my 'online money account' to it from HSBC

I like the fact that they are offering a free Business bank account, but depositing cheques/cash just says 'Coming Soon'. Although I don't need to deposit cheques/cash often, it is something that is needed. Once they start accepting those I think I will be opening a Business account with them.

Ive opened one but not using as main account. I got an email recently saying that they have partnered with the post office and can now accept deposits there :)

I've been using it for a while. I quite like them. The green site guy recommended it for use as a bank card abroad so I got it for holidays and now use it for my matched betting. Never had a problem so far. Get an app notification whenever I spend or receive money as well.

It has fairly decent exchange rates and its fee free for both spending and withdrawals. Never tried the Fair FX so cant compare.
