Totally Awesome

Like a bank that is custom made for me right at my fingertips that is so easy to use and shows me everything I need to know. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Quick, efficient and stress free!

5
I tried to get my business account set up with my bank that I'd banked with for 32 years, and 3 weeks later got a response that my request was in process!! So, I applied to Starling and had a bank account that day and a card 3 days later! I also now have my current account with them and it's SO EASY. This is the future of banking, the old high street giants are going to die, as they can't keep up. Super happy with Starling on all fronts. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Best bank

Fair, Free and Fabulous

5
ultra easy to set up, easy to use and transparent - offers support in tax/sorting finances - and let me know when customers pay me (so I can thank them ) simple and easy to use and clear instructions - oh and the really lovely chap I had to phone to help me set up (as I got it muddled) was so helpful and guided me through everything - without laughing at my ineptitude !

makes life easier

Love my new Straling business account, it makes my life as a sole-trader much easier AND I feel really happy to know that I'm working with an ethical bank as this is also a key part of my business! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

If Carlsberg did Banks.....

Are all the high street banks playing catch up with Starling? Those long-established corporate white ivory tower banks are as far away from what the customer wants when managing day-to-day money and long-term plans as it is possible to get. All are now copying and bringing in elements that have existed in Staring since the day I joined, and they only improve and get better. My account took three days to open and be fully operational; my business account took four days, including a weekend! The app's functionality is well thought out and works, giving us the customer an efficient, user-friendly money managing experience. Simply Brilliant. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Easy and stress free

5
I switched to Starling business current account from elsewhere. Starling is so easy to use, easy to categorise expenses. I have been so stressed over the lockdown with lack of income with my previous bank being very unsupportive. I nearly cried with relief when I finally managed the switch to Starling bank. Well done guys. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

"Does what it says on the tin"

5
I know, I know, it's a lazy cliché but that's exactly what I want from my business bank. To do what I need it to do, quickly, intuitively and without fuss. It's a year on from my last review and the sentiment remains he same. The few times I've needed help, online support has been on-the-ball, and sorted my query within a short time. No lengthy waits on a phone playing awful "musac". Fees are an important element to me as a small business and their continued support for free business banking is a winner in my book. But, to be fair, I'd even accept (small!) transactional charges for the rest of benefits they've provided me. I can only thank NatWest for dumping their small business accounts unceremoniously and forcing my hand to look around. I haven't looked back! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Business bank switch

5
Not only was this the most seamless transition to a new bank but it also turns out that the entire interface is ultra user friendly from login to whatever it is you want to do when you're in. Bin the old tired monopolies and go Starling. I'll be switching my joint personal next from Barclays Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
