Starling Bank Business account reviews (7604)

Extremely slow and lack of correspondence

1
Very slow. No communication. It's probably easier to get citizenship in a foreign than open a business account with Starling. If you can wait until your business flops because they take so long then you are welcome to apply. Reviewed on: 16th June 2021

Easy to use, great use of notifications and has an app too

5
This bank account has given me all I've needed and more. I know exactly where my businesses money goes, it give lots of helpful notifictions and with the app I can do all my banking on the go. Reviewed on: 14th June 2021

Very efficient, well thoughtout app, and quick customer service. Reviewed on: 14th June 2021

Long winded and tedious to set up business bank account

1
Really frustrated with my experience of trying to open a business account. I really thought they would be different and straightforward but instead it was request for more information after another. Not worth the rigmarole in my opinio. Ended up opening a tide account which was sooo nuch easier to open than starling. Absolutely horrible experience. Reviewed on: 11th June 2021

Poor service

1
I have x2 business accounts with this bank and x1 personal. My wife and I hold a joint business account. My wife tried to set up another business account, but the service has been appalling. Constant requests for information already provided. All our accounts are in credit by a considerable margin, and yet they don't seem to give a dam about the frustration and time delay they have caused us in setting up this third account. It would be great if someone from Starling take responsibility for their lack of understanding. Reviewed on: 5th May 2021

Fantastic Banking

I love Starling Bank. Good customer service and delivery. Reviewed on: 19th April 2021

Banging Business Banking!!

5
I moved over to Starling at the start of this year and everything about it makes my heart sing! A little over dramatic?? Maybe but the truth! I used to DREAD looking at my bank account but now it's a pleasure as its easy to use, I'm warned that I'm going to go overdrawn rather than chastised for doing so. The 'spaces' concept is AMAZING! and has helped me massively manage my money in the last few months. The app is clear, the swap over was easy. I can't rate this bank highly enough. I feel like a proper grown up with money now rather than being down right scared of my bank account! (I'm a self employed 45yr old mum of 2 so I really should be bloody grown up!!!) Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Amazing, stunning, value for money

5
I love my Starling Bank account, so responsive, and such a lot for free Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Perfect, No nonsense banking

5
Opened my account a year ago and so glad I did. First class in everything, from the app to customer service that actually try and help you! What business banking should be Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Simplicity and beauty

5
Easy to switch. Beautifully designed app and customer service respond at any time of the day. Couple of things I’d like added (auto tax deductions on incoming payments and being able to add your own card subscriptions to the recurring payments tab as the auto AI doesn’t always get these right) but overall a solid product and one I’ve recommended countless times. Thanks Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
