I closed my account after no help from customer service. Had account for years. Account is okay, service is poor. Reviewed on: 9th April 2024

Brilliant sole trader option

I love this bank account, created if for when I started a side hustle that I ended up turning into a business. The app seems to always be one step ahead of other banking apps, or miles ahead of some older, slower-moving banks. Very much love the developments as a techy person. Reviewed on: 8th February 2023

Money can't buy happiness but Starling makes banking pretty darn sweet

5
I find Starling so easy to bank with that it takes any sting out of seeing money leave my account! And that is said by a lifelong spendthrift. I'm coming into my third year using Starling for both my business and personal accounts, and whenever opportunity arises to try and convert others to the Starling I'm straight onto them. And resentful if they have legitimate reasons to stay with another bank...boo... The rare occasion I've has to contact their customer services given the app is so straightforward to use, they were excellent and super friendly. Almost a shame there is not more reason to contact them :( Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

Straightforward and free business account. Just what I need for my small business.

5
A super account that lets me receive money from customers electronically and by cheque for free, really important for my small business. The banking card and app are also very simple to use. I am very happy. Reviewed on: 7th February 2023

So pleasant to work with

5
I love how easy it is to operate my business account. It connects to the accounting software making everything easier to do. I appreciate, too, that any communications are sufficient for the business, meaning I read them! Reviewed on: 4th February 2023

The Customer is Starling!

5
Starling is a very Customer driven bank that listens to, and meets the needs of its Customers. If this attitude always prevails, they can't really go wrong. Reviewed on: 4th February 2023

Brilliant for small business

5
I'm self-employed and running my own small business. I was dubious about opening an account with Starling as it's all done through the app - What if there was a problem? How would I access my money? But I had nothing to worry about at all. Their customer service is brilliant and everything is very straightforward. Protected by the Switch Guarantee and no fees for having a business account. Second to none. Recommending them to everyone I know who runs their own business! Reviewed on: 4th February 2023
