Starling Bank Business account reviews (7606)

Brilliant app, great FX rates, and free!

5
I maintain a small Limited Company for consultancy work I do alongside a full time role elsewhere, so company income is low and any costs associated with running the business are quickly noticeable. As a result of this I ditched HSBC who were charging me £5.50/mo for a current account, as well as charging for FX (I buy a few services in USD). Starling's app is slick and easy to use, the account itself is free, and the FX rates are near perfect. I have a problem at the moment (which I have yet to raise with Starling) where I cannot set up my card on Google Pay as I don't receive the promised text message despite multiple attempts over several weeks. I suspect this will be easily resolved when I contact them, however, and the odd little niggle like this is the only thing making this a 9 and not a 10 star rating. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Modern banking

Modern and digital approach to banking Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

forward thinking

5
I like their new ways of thinking and the charges are lower and cash banking is less than half of high street banks. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Absolutely great.

5
So easy to setup and get going. No need to go into a branch with an appointment. If you're already a customer than you can setup a business account in a matter of minutes! It's great. I love it... Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Seamless experience!

5
Simple and straightforward experience right from the moment of opening the account. Very clear and concise transaction history and simple to use phone app. The bonus is the link up with Freeagent. I would highly recommend this account to anyone and I'm strongly considering opening a personal account with them as well! Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

From skeptic to pro

4
As a start up, new to self employment and business, even business banking was a minefield to me. Starling made it a smooth and easy process, if I ever had any queries their customer service is friendly and efficient. From their simple set-up process, ongoing support to their user-friendly app, I now wouldn't want to bank with anyone else. Additionally, I now find it easier to track my expenses since Starling have collaborated with Quickbooks. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Brilliant bank and easy to use

Very easy to use and good with goal setting and everything runs smoothly Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Everything you need in your hand

5
Does everything I need from a business account with no charges - easy to open and use Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

The best business account. Full stop.

5
Using Starling Bank is like nothing else. It took us 24 hours to open the account, instead of weeks with other banks. Their simplicity, the app, the info you get is unmatched. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

How business banking should be done!

5
The big banks take note, this is how business banking should be. We are not 2nd class digital citizens that get 5% of the features consumer accounts get. Starlings business account is fat supperior to all of my other consumer accounts, apps and customer service. I had HSBC Business before, this was not even 5% as good as Starlings accounts. I can manage my business finances all from my phone, also with Quickbooks integrated and also I get perks like cash back on purchase too, something reserved only for consumers in the big high street banks. Keep up the good work Starling 10 stars Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
