Read moreBeware. Whilst the apps looks great, take extreme caution when trying to make material payments through Starling. I was due to Complete the purchase of a commercial property on 27th June and had to move a sizeable sum to my solicitor. I phoned at 7.40am to temporarily lift the £25k threshold. 6 hours later, despite 9 calls to the Service Centre and 3 messages, the payment still hadn't been made. A credit block was put on the app which despite being told had been lifted, wouldn't allow me to process the payment. Different calls to different people at their service centre just went in circles. The same repeat suggestions were made and none worked. I was palmed off a couple of times with the line 'our technical people are looking at it'. Just short of 7 hours later the payment manged to go out but I've lost all credibility with my lawyer and also the developer. Great apps but this was the 1 time I really needed the bank to work and it let me down.
A bank on my phone 24hrs a day. The app is slick and very easy to use. Makes my old bank look a bit ancient.

Read more Starling Business Current account is free, and quick to set up. There is no doubt Starling Bank does banking, but its Business Current Account does not offer real Business banking.
The weakest link of Starling Business Account is the lack to dedicated business customer support. I could not speak to a business team member to deal with the matter directly, and it has taken too much time without resolving the actual issue.
Until Starling Bank improves customer support for business account, it is better off to look for a real Business Bank Account elsewhere for primary business banking.
set up an account within 10 minutes from my desk. how cool is that. Forgot my passwrod they sorted me out on a call on sunday, within a few minutes.

With separate pots that I can name, it is easy to save for my goals.
Customer service is easy to contact in app. It has replaced my current account with a major high street bank. I'll only use Starling from now on. Also the biggest draw is fee free foreign spending!!
Everything about Starling Bank has been very easy to use. I switched from a more traditional bank account and in 15 years with that bank I never felt anywhere near as respected as a customer as I do now. Starling are incredibly transparent and very...
Read moreEverything about Starling Bank has been very easy to use. I switched from a more traditional bank account and in 15 years with that bank I never felt anywhere near as respected as a customer as I do now. Starling are incredibly transparent and very clearly focused on giving the customer a positive experience over price-gouging.
Conversion between GBP and EUR is free which is just amazing.
Starling is great for using abroad, my card was invaluable whilst travelling throughout Asia.
easy app, good messaging when payments are due or money comes out of account.

Read moreChanging the banking industry for the better. I no longer trust the banks (any of them) following the crash but these guys are creating a banking revolution along with Monzo. Stuff your branches, cheque books and foreign transaction fees. Switch to respectable company who go above and beyond to demonstrate you’re more than just ‘a number’.

I like their website which also contains useful tools, as well as articles that contain tips on various financial services, and are interesting to read. The card also looks excellent, and charges no fees for foreign currency transactions. Nothing negative to say about Starling.
simple set up, contactless card, instant notifications of transactions

They dont have ridiculous bank charges and I love the app! The rounding up saving spaces is the only way I have ever managed to save successfully! Such a brilliant idea!

Read moreEverything about Starling bank has been great. Being solely available to use on an app, banking with Starling has been intuitive, fast and also profitable as they actually pay interest unlike many mainstream banks. I have had to contact customer services a couple of times with simple queries and the online chat through the app has sufficed, with quick responses. I much prefer this to having to call and the app makes it so simple. Since I began using it more features have been added, the app has been improved and I actually enjoy banking with them.

Read more I was offered a £750 incentive to switch banks from Natwest to Starling. I made the switch and was expecting my incentive to be credited to my new account "Within 7 days"
The switch happened however 9 days later and the incentive payment still hasn't been credited to my new account.
So far I have contacted Starling twice and all they say is "Someone from the Business switch team will be in contact with you"
Please think seriously before switching your bank account to Starling.
No other bank offers a current account like this, fee free internationally for both cash and purchases, a wonderful app, Apple Pay and all that you would expect from a bank but more.
