Review of the Starling Bank, Business Account:

A bank worth doing business with

5
I moved my business account over from Cooperative. I've already got a personal account and a joint account with my wife from Starling - there was nowhere else I was going to take my business. You get the same features as a personal account plus some, the integrations with accounting software make everything immediate and hands-free and all of your information is available through a mobile app that can use biometric ID instead of remembering *another* super-secure password for your business. It's a load off - one less thing for a small business owner to worry about. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

So simple

A wonderful simple to view and use app. Excellent staff always there when you need them. Cant praise them enough Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Shameless profiteers

1
With 3 accounts already up and functioning, I thought opening an account for my new business would be easy enough. As it is, I am refused, told I cannot be told why and there’s nobody who cares. Policy is customer hostile Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Makes business banking easy

Just love spaces, being able to put money to one side for tax bill, accountancy etc Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

So quick to set up an account

5
Wish I’d been able to set up a Starling account when I set up my business. The 2-3 week long process with HSBC caused me major issues with onboarding my first client. With Starling, I was given an account number and sort code within minutes. Why can’t all banks be like this?! Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Totally hassle free

5
I've never experienced such a hassle free Bank before, Starling Bank keeps it's customers well updated long before it's due to happen Reviewed on: 24th January 2023

Best bank

5
We started using Starling Bank a few years ago when the high street bank we were using badly disappointed us at the worst time due to clunky and inefficient internal procedures. Since then all was so simple, clear and to the point with Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2023

Easy to use, kind to the planet

5
My main reason for choosing Starling Bank is because it is a responsible investor. I know that they won't be investing my money in fossil fuels or mining or animal agriculture. It's important to me to know that my money is being put to good use. On top of that, the customer service is brilliant, the app is easy to use - I have literally no complaints. It's brilliant.
