Starling Bank Business account reviews (7606)

Early Days, but so impressed

5
Within only about 20 mins, I'd set up my Personal and Business Accounts within the App, and received the cards a couple of days later...all without talking to anyone, any queuing or being on hold to a call centre. The App is really easy to use, and I love the facility to create silos/goals for things like bills/salaries and taxes. The connections to online Accounting Apps are very handy to have. (I'm also very impressed they use colours for their cards very close to my brand colours!). Reviewed on: 11th January 2020

Business Sense Simply

5
First came the personal account which was a refreshing change from the normal stuffy bank system. This account was so good and worked so well that I have now persuaded my university daughter to also take on a starling bank account. Having had a Barclays account for my business for years it never felt flexible enough or affordable enough to use as an every day account. We then opened a starling business account Which has allowed me to operate my day today business from one account itemizing my expenditure exactly how I wish. Reviewed on: 11th January 2020

Banking... The way it should be!

5
I have been using Starling Business Bank for about 18 months and cannot rate it highly enough. Easy to use Android app (iPhone app available too). Instant notification of both spending and receipt of money. All this and no monthly fee. Reviewed on: 11th January 2020

Convenient, useful and modern

5
Been a customer now for about 7 months. Would definitely recommend Starling Business accounts for anyone - it’s easy to use and has tonnes of support for any issues you may have. Reviewed on: 10th January 2020

Great bank and its free

5
I have many businesses bank accounts over the years, and currently have a number of businesses. I nominated Staring for my BTL SPV initially due to free banking. However, the service is superb, and I love the mobile app and 30k faster payments. The explanation as to how they can do this for free just highlights why all other banks are ripping us off. Way to go, Starling - this is one person who loves you and I'll be porting over some other companies soon.

Easy free business banking

5
My business banking has been much simpler as well as free since moving to Starling using the convenient phone app with innovative features like security checking by using a video and no endless periods on hold and hassles about cards and card reader failures with my old high street bank Reviewed on: 10th January 2020

A 21st century bank for 21st century people

5
A modern and up to date banking infrastructure with a fantastic user interface, making banking and dealing with money coming in and out WAY easier than any other high street bank that I have used in the past. So much potential...great product and service! Reviewed on: 10th January 2020

Hastle free, the best app!!

5
Starling bank do not charge fees on transactions as other banks do. They inform their customers regularly any offers or promotions. Customer service is on point from each staff member over the phone. Very helpful, always made me feel special, important and i know they value me as a customer. There is an easy app which is simple, informative and really easy to use. No hassle no ridiculous fees for account or anything really. Its simple money comes hassle free. Best bank i have ever banked with. There is nothing more a small business like mine needs than the above. Super bank!! Reviewed on: 9th January 2020
