A Disgrace to Call This a Bank

1
Starling Bank has proven to be nothing more than a ticking time bomb for businesses. Without warning, they froze my account — not part of my money, but all of it — leaving me unable to pay suppliers, accept payments from clients, or run my operations. No explanation, no accountability, no concern for the damage they are causing. And the most absurd part? They blocked thousands of pounds of company funds just because of a single £75 chargeback. That’s like shutting down an entire airport because one passenger lost their luggage. Utterly irrational and destructive. My entire account has now been completely blocked for three days straight, creating damages that are close to irreparable for my business. Every hour lost means lost clients, lost credibility, and a reputation that will take months to rebuild — if at all. They claim to be “the future of business banking.” If this is the future, it looks like chaos, incompetence, and automated replies while real businesses are left to burn. Honestly, the only thing Starling seems good at is proving how quickly they can destroy trust and stability. If you value your business, your time, and your sanity — stay far, far away from Starling Bank. Unless, of course, you enjoy watching your hard-earned money locked away while they pat themselves on the back for “compliance.” Reviewed on: 14th September 2025

Starling has a great app for all my business needs

I've used Starling Bank for my business for more than 3 years now and they are by far the best Bank I've ever banked with. The app is so user-friendly, never down, has great additions like spaces to plan and save for tax etc... and all with help when you need it. I'm a total convert and would highly recommend it to all.
