Business account - feedback

A refreshing approach that delivers what it says and beats the BIG 4 (or is it 5) hands down. Well done. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Perfect for a sole trader

Compared with Tide, with whom I held my previous business account, Starling business accounts are far, far better. They have all the basics covered such as IBANs, the main reason I left Tide after waiting two years for them to implement them. Starling are also covered by the FCS, which I had stupidly assumed was also the case with Tide. Starling’s security features are solid and easy to use, especially when combined with the biometric security of smart phones. In addition, although it is a subscription service, the Starling business toolkit is fantastic and well worth the £7 a month. Providing you make all business payments through the business account, bookkeeping is a breeze and VAT, once the Starling account had been connected to my HMRC account, is completed with a couple of clicks. Any VAT received from clients is automatically placed into a saving space that is not reflected in the main account balance. This means I can always see how much cash I have available and don’t need to worry about keeping money aside to cover the quarterly VAT payments. I’m intending to use the tax functionality for this financial years accounts as I’m confident this will also be as easy to use. This is the first time I have ever been impressed with a bank. I also have my current account with Starling and the saving spaces make saving for large annual bills such as car insurance a doddle. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Great bank

Starling has been a great bank for my business account. Their team have always supported me and my business. I am really happy to be their client. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

If only everything was this simple

My small business is young enough that I've always banked online with it, never in person. While other business banks offer "an online service", they may be online, but the service can be questionable and often burdensome to get help when things aren't right. Starling are not like other banks - I was initially a personal customer, but as soon as business accounts were available I switched and haven't had a bad word to say about them. Features, security, support, information, integration with 3rd party accounting... all excellent. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Banking made easy

I desperately needed an account for my LLP in the midst of COVID lockdown. Starling Bank were the only ones to help. Minor teething issues with app sorted with 24 hours. Everything is just so easy to do via the app. Other banks take notice! Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Getting organised

I'm not the most money savvy individual. I'm self employed but haven't been able to work because of the restrictions of the pandemic. I used the time out to review a few things which lead me to open a Starling business bank account. I now feel more confident and assured that keeping track and preparing my taxes will be easier and more efficient. I've also subscribed to their business toolkit add-on, which allows me to send and track invoices, set-up direct debits and standing orders for regular business expenses and I have created savings goals as I look forward to future financial stability. Love it, I feel so grateful that there's something like this on the market and hopeful for my financial future... Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Best banking service ever

I have used just about every major bank over the last 40 years and Starling Bank stands out as the best by far for simplicity and ease of use. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

Really frustrating. No real explanation or support

As a sole trader and owner of a small start-up, I was looking for a reliable bank to open a business account with. I tried with Starling, but for some reason, after opening a personal account (a pre-requisite), I was then not given the option to open a sole-trader business account. When I called customer service to ask why I was given no reason and told to check back sporadically. I have been waiting for months now with no change. I have no way of proving that I am a viable business if I am not allowed to use their business account, so I have had nothing but bad and frustrating experiences with this bank so far. I really hope it improves in the future for genuine start-ups and entrepreneurs like me. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021

The future of banking

I haven’t walked into a bank to pay in a cheque or order a new card for a year or so. Reviewed on: 16th April 2021
