A revolution in attitude

5
I find out what I need to know and when I need to know it - automatically from Starling; such a refreshing change from our traditional bankers. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Help when I need it; just easy banking when I dont

5
I'm a sole trader and so "banking" is a necessary overhead to my business. The quicker it is to log on and do what I have to do, the better. With that in mind, really appreciate the Starling Bank mobile app. Everything is there and easy and quick to use. I know instantly when money moves in and, more importantly, out of the account. On the rare occasion I need help or pointing in the right direction, they respond quickly to my messages/questions. I always have the feeling that they're listening to my feedback and suggestions to improve. Recent integration into QuickBooks has made life even easier. The fact that all of this is "free" is icing on the cake! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Free business account, easy to use.

5
This account is brilliant, free deposits and transactions, instant notifications, no comparison to high street banks who remain like dinosaurs! No negatives, highly recommend! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Quick customer service

5
Reliable and quick, a great customer service, the phone application is secure, the bank hidd the numbers from the card for security in case of theft or loss. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Banking in all it's glory!!!

5
This is the bank of today and the future. Starling bank makes banking easy, enjoyable and stress free. I am alerted of every transaction, thereby keeping me well aware of my spending. Starling is just the best! Overall, I LOVE MY BANK! Can you say that about your bank?. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Amazing and user friendly

5
App based back with real humans if you need them. My business bank account took 5 mins to open. I went to Starling after a bit of research after my abysmal experience with Barclays, who seemed to make it as hard as possible to get my business. Barclays made me an appointment to see a branch person, only for me to find that appointment was to verify my ID and then to make a further appointment with the new business team. At that point I said no thank you. Starling was simple to open an account with and the steps done via the app, simple to follow. I’ve recommended Starling to others who have also been impressed by the ease and simplicity of using Starling. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

So easy

4
I started using Starling as my business account after having had the personal account with them for a few months and I am recommending it to everyone. The big plus is no charges, but everything works so smoothly. Well done. The only downside, having to post cheques in the mail, I hope that we can have somewhere to deposit cheques in the near future Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Fantastic app

5
Very easy to use account with fantastic app. Reviewed on: 19th January 2020

Multi-director accounts that work like a dream

5
No fees, use abroad without extortionate charges, Xero integration, Apple Pay compatible, multi-director accounts and exemplary customer service via built in messaging service! This is the way banking should be. Well done Starling and good riddance to the banks of yesteryear! Reviewed on: 19th January 2020
