Best yet

This bank takes the stress out of all banks and Building societies I have been with over 40 years. Makes day to day easier Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

It isn't broken

when I opened my account with Starling the whole process was claimed to take around 20 minutes. I was very sceptical but pleasantly proved right when I applied and the setup was a breeze. I have since switched to a business account and the service has been faultless with no loss of service and amazingly fast processing times. To recommend Starling is as they say a no brainer, it works so doesn't need fixing. Great app that lets me know within a split second when I spend or receive money leaving me more time to get on with the important bit of earning an income. A fresh, modern bank that is suitable for today's life. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Awesome bank never been so in control of the finances

Love being in so much control of what comes in to what goes out. Never had any issues since I got the account was so impressed I changed my personal account after being with that bank since the age of 7. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Superb bank

We have banked with three different banks in recent years, none of them come remotely close to the amazing services offered by Starling. Definitely the best bank out there, in my opinion. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Friendly and Efficient

Just so easy and uncomplicated to deal with, best bank by a mile Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Simply the best

Simple to use, easy to contact, app does it all, plain and simple.... what more could you ask for. Thank you starling Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

. Starling Bank. Superbly smooth and secure process.

Simple but robust and absolutely crazy to look anywhere else. Access with secure processes is a no brainier. As a sole trader I had to set up a personal bank account in order to go through the security processes.this was done in less than 20 minutes sat at home and my personal bank account was set up. Then in less than 15 minutes my Business Bank Account was set up including the debit cards. Thank you Starling. Starling really is the smart way to bank for business. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great bank, app fabulous

I love using starling business banking, the app is great let’s me know what I’m spending and when customers pay there invoices. The feature for keeping track of receipts and spending categories is a great quick reference tool which you can easily compare with previous months. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Started great, then stagnated

I've been with Starling since the beginning. I loved how they are a real bank, but had this startup spirit. It was more than just cute Emojis (sorry Monzo), but proper banking, done right. And they did personal and business accounts from very early on. But it seems they stopped innovating and improving their app. To this day, getting international payments is a huge pain. They only show up as "You paid yourself", which makes reconciliation with the accounting software a real hassle. I raised it several times over the years and keeps getting a "coming soon" answer. Now they introduced the "accounting addon" with cute icons for the most common card transactions and budgeting features, which - if you're using a professional accountant and their software - is a bit useless. Especially when the basics aren't right yet. Can't be that hard to surface payment details in the app if you're a bank?! So as much as I did and want to love Starling, wouldn't recommend right now. Trying to add the official HMRC account as a payee and pay my taxes ended up locking me out for "fraud protection". Like it REALLY was the HMRC account, I quadruple checked. Definitely no scam. The HMRC website (after logging in securely), my letter from HMRC and my accountant all agreed. Yet Starling wouldn't allow me to send them my tax payment... It's two account numbers to add to the fraud protection algorithm. Can't be that hard. Definitely easier than the cute but useless icons for transaction categories... Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Simple Control

Clear, concise and easy to use with the essence that the customer is in control and not the Bank. A refreshing change. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
