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

Cleaning up business banking and helping us all get on with it

5
Simply brilliant. Ask anyone who runs their business on Starling. Saves time on every day processes. Helps you focus on more important things (sorry Starling!) Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Speed of service

5
After a battle with Barclays whose business team to receive replies and ultimately an account closure notice I was faced with a bank move after ten years of business banking. All banks at the time were quoting long delays due to CBILS etc or even not taking new customers. I approached Starling and was up and running within days, their apps are brilliant and help desks responsive. Currency accounts take seconds Vs months with Barclays. Fees are very low too. It’s a brilliantly well thought out platform with access to humans quickly when needed. Well done STAR bankers Starling Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Best app, low cost, multiple business

5
I love how I have a simple to use app, low costs and I can run multiple accounts. The real are easy to get hold of via chat, and applying for a bounce back loan during the pandemic was quick and straightforward Reviewed on: 1st April 2022

Fresh and Innovative

5
I have previously used another business bank and then Starling came along, and wow! I felt valued from the first moment, and I have never experienced such quick and thorough customer service. I have recently become a senior partner in another company and was so disappointed that the other partner chose another bank for our business account. However, my own company will remain with Starling. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Excellent in every way

5
We had been with a major High Street bank since we started our business in 2004. They were impossible to contact during the early days of the pandemic. Starling enabled us to open an account in 2 days, apply for business support (which they granted and was in our account in 2 days) and have given us faultless service every since. I would recommend them to any small business owner. I just wish we'd moved sooner and it hadn't taken a global pandemic to make us realise we were paying through the nose for rubbish service. For yes, on top of all the above, the business account is free! Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Simply one of the best banks around

5
Starling never caused issues for me, and made the banking experience very seamless. That alone is more than enough to deserve being the best bank Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

Love Starling

5
Best digital bank by far. Love the app, the customer service and brand story. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022

5

5

So quick and easy!

5
I use the "profit first" method of accounting and Starling makes this really easy to manage (unlike my previous business account with HSBC!). It's made life - and earning a profit - so much easier. Reviewed on: 31st March 2022
