Review of the Starling Bank, Business account:

Wish the were around years ago. By far the best bank I have ever been witj Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Brilliant!

I applied for a business account via the app at 4.30pm on a Friday and by the Saturday morning the account was open. It was ultra easy to open the account and the steps were simple. The transfer of my old business account was smooth and again simple. They have tools to enable you to put money away, and you get interest with no charges for business banking-amazing! Since that point I am impressed by the ease with which the app works, updates about payments are instant-I always know what has been spent and when. It is smart and simple way to keep track. I am very impressed with the fact that they have links to quickbooks too-very useful tool for any business. Cannot fault this bank at all. I am enjoying being a customer.

Perfect Online Banking, Everytime!

Been using this for over a year and it’s excellent, from the app to the customer service is easy and efficient to use and the overseas banking rates are the best too. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Seamless and responsive customer service from creating account to managing day to day queries.

It took 6 months to open a business bank account with HSBC, fobbed off by local branch CW as too busy so had to commute to remote branch in Stratford. This interview was followed by lazy and slow receipt of account opening documents, cards and welcome letters. Complete mess process and comms wise - a tragically poor customer experience from a veteran bank. For example first Letter from HSBC was not a welcome letter but an apology letter for not sending our account opening terms and an outdated and sluggish web app. They should fire who ever is in so called charges of the broken business banking service. With Starling bank our account was opened within a day, seamless responsive and proactive account opening team. We were able to set up and transfer day to day business banking using the app in no time. Hugely recommend. Exciting to see the new business app integrations they have. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

New kid in town comes up with the goods

First class experience as always. Either personal or business accounts, both handled well all year with no complaints. Always kept up to date with changes and feedback always welcomed. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Top of the tree

You know exactly what is happening day to day, easy to use app, banking with this company has restored my faith in the banking sector. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Easy, fast, reliable and with great customer service.

Customer Service has always been exemplary and so so different from the awful service the mainstream banks provide. We're very pleased we moved from Barclays. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Finally, a business bank account for the 21st century

5
Have tried many bank accounts- Tide, Natwest, HSBC, etc.... Starling is by far the most easy-to-use, digitally native business account I’ve had. Features like no transfer fees abroad, instant spending alerts, API integration with accounting software.... really set Starling apart from the competition. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Amazing

Best business account out there. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020

Best banking service EVER

Account and facilities are excellent. Customer care when needed has been superb, friendly and more importantly well trained. I have two business accounts with starling and have moved my current account to them as well! I would recommend without hesitation to any business owner. Reviewed on: 3rd January 2020
