Starling Bank Business account reviews (7606)

Love the app and service

5
I chose Starling because of its great reviews and also because its CEO is a woman. I think we need more women in the financial industry so that was one of the criteria that helped me decide. The app is great and very easy to use. It also looks nice. I loved the packaging of the actual debit card I received. It looked a lot more smart than any other bank letters I have ever received. I also think the card itself looks great and I like that it's vertical rather than horizontal. It makes it stand out. Overall great service, I would 100% recommend. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Easy biz account

Easy to use, make transfers and set goals to bucket your revenue, eg set aside money for VAT. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Excellent and pro-active customer services

5
The team have been very responsive to any queries we have had in setting up and transferring our business account to Starling. The app is clear and easy to use, and we are very happy with things. We hope to integrate our Starling account with our accounting software going forward as well, which is a welcome feature. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Easy to use, no fees

5
So many banks charge for having a business bank, mine is a small business so it is not dealing with vast sums of money so having no fees is a god send Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

It does what it says on the tin

4
They offer a Business bank account which can be opened more easily and does what it says on the tin with unnecessary jargon. It's great for startup businesses and first time entrepreneurs. Thanks Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Excellent customer service , hassle free application process , easy to use app.

5
Starling Bank are a breath of fresh air , this is how banking in the 21st century should be ! I recently set up a small business venture as a sole trader and was very disappointed with the service offering of the major high street banks. They either had very high fees for business accounts or long processing times for applications - One quoted a 2 month wait to get an account approved and cards issued! As I needed to be up and running quickly I decided to try Starling, so glad I did - I completed the simple application process and had an online account up & running within 24hrs. A Business debit card arrived within 2 days . The App is great, very intuitive and easy to use with some useful integrations. Can't fault the customer service either . Wish I had found Starling sooner !! Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

The App is so easy to use and when I have needed help there is someone on the end of the phone offering brilliant customer care. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Absolutely perfect, the best out there

They are such a great forward thinking bank, everything is easy and PERFECT Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Messiah for small businesses

5
It took under 15 minutes to set up, one day to verify and everything links to Xero. Just. Like. That. It could not be easier. Never had to use customer service because everything is just smooth sailing. Highly recommended for small businesses and startups. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020

Superb Banking

5
Starling Bank run a superb Business Account which gives us everything we need in a simple to use package. Additionally, it interfaces seamlessly with our online Accounting system making financial management as easy as possible. I heartily recommend Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 6th January 2020
