Starling Bank Business account reviews (7606)

Excellent free business banking

5
I was a long time user of Barclays for business banking and Monzo for personal banking. When Monzo announced a Business banking service I signed up for the preview to try it and at the same time looked around in the market and found that Starling was offering this as well, for free. I signed up to that too and ended up liking it so much I moved both my business banking to it from Barclays and my personal from Monzo. It's easier to do things even during the weekends, and integration with FreeAgent which I use for my business is also great. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Scab for small business

5
Super easy to setup - just be aware that you must link your business account to a personal account - I Had all my money frozen as I was unaware I couldn’t use a personal account for sole trader purposes. This was a nightmare to resolve but fortunately didn’t significantly impact me as they did unfreeze my account after I had to get a customer to explain why they sent me two lots of money. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Wonderful - No Issues!

5
Great to be with a bank that were already at the top of their game in terms of Digital before Covid-19 hit. It is such a pleasure to be able to do all that I need quickly and easily and not have to waste valuable business hours on sorting out my banking. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Straight forward banking

5
Starling is by far the best banking experience I’ve had. They are helpful, straight forward and have great customer service. They communicate with you through every process and have made setting up my own business very easy. I have recommended Starling to my family and friends and I will continue to do so. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant, easy to use

5
Really happy with the way Starling works, rapid notifications, able to add pictures of receipts and easy way of authorising payments through the app, no waiting for a text message Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple, Secure, Super!

5
The app is a joy to use. Security is so much simpler to navigate than clunky old-skool banks with their security handsets. Love the "ping" of incoming payments (less so the ping when I make a payment... ;) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
