Review of the Starling Bank, Business Account:

Outstanding and simple.

I have been with other banks for both business and personal for over 40 years, yet I have received far better service in less than a year with Starling. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Starling Business account is excellent and easy to use

I have had a Starling Business account for a couple of years now and would highly recommend this company to anyone for banking! The app is easy to use, effective and handy when it comes to managing your money. All round great! Reviewed on: 18th March 2025

Honestly, if I were a regular bank, I'd worry. Starling is simply a level better than all of the other banks I am with for business. I won't name them, but there are two other banks. My guess is that Starling employees actually use their own system and thus are constantly working out how to remove any blocks or bottlenecks. Reviewed on: 6th March 2025

Great products and great customer service

Starling have made managing my self-employed income really easy; I have a "Space" for saving for my tax bill, and I can easily instruct it to squirrel 20% in there, all ready for when January 31st rolls up! Reviewed on: 6th March 2025
