Best of British banking

5
I’ve been a business customer of Starling for a number of years now and I have found them to be absolutely excellent, so much so that I would be happy to pay for my banking with them. There have been issues but it’s how they have been quickly and professionally dealt with that has been so reassuring. Reviewed on: 14th January 2023

No human contact, Rejected opening of a business account without reason

1
Horrendous company. Admittedly I fell for the slick and modern branding but they really showed themselves to be amateurs. Submitted documents as required, my business is regulated by a government body and received a message on their faulty app that they couldn't open a business account and they couldn't tell me why. No response to emails and the advisors on the phone have no clue apart from whatever the script they are reading from is telling them. Stick to old guard, Lloyds are pretty good, I'm going there, Reviewed on: 1st August 2022

Fine for a very small business, becomes increasingly poor as you grow

2
It's fine if the business is very small and you just want an app to update you when you receive a payment and you value a nice app experience. Once your account becomes more complex, you can't even do basic things such as check total incoming revenue in a certain period, I called to ask about this and was patronisingly told to print off the pdfs and use a calculator - when you're dealing with thousands of transactions, that's not a good response. They still won't offer any type of business OD and are blaming covid bounce back loans (it's June 2022), and the staff are generally clueless as to what products the bank can actually offer. Also be prepared to be regularly cut off if you need to speak to an advisor. Basically if you have, or you want, a grown up business, go to a grown up bank. We moved to HSBC and instant breath of fresh air in the form of a safe pair of hands. No doubt they'll have their frustrations as all banks do, but seem far better suited to a growing business.
