Starling is the best banking app I have ever used.

Starling is the best banking app I have ever used. The business account is free to use and the features allow me to keep track of my spending at all times. The best part is the instant notifications when money goes in or out. Everything is kept up to date in real time. Reviewed on: 12th March 2024

I cannot rate Starling highly enough!

I cannot rate Starling highly enough! I use them for my business banking and it has made the bookkeeping side of self employment completely hassle free. Great functionality, very easy to use and the perfect example of modern banking. Reviewed on: 12th March 2024

Great fee-free banking with an easy to use app.

Great fee-free banking with an easy to use app. This is how business banking should be done. When I have had questions then Starling's customer service has been good at solving the issues, but sometimes it would be good to be able to speak to someone directly rather than just on an online chat.

Good ish. It’s good, good value for money but customer service leaves some to be desired. Closed my account or at least tried to and it’s been a long process, still not over. Reviewed on: 8th February 2024

Simply the best bank there is! The toolkit is brilliant for invoicing, expenses and VAT returns. Plus I can sync my transactions to Xero or FreeAgent. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024

Great app, fantastic service.

Great app, fantastic service. I love how easy the app is to use. When I do need to speak to someone there’s a human at the end of the phone. I like their brand as well. Thumbs up from me. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2024
