Absolutely avoid.

Absolutely avoid. Terrible customer experience, from a bank that won’t even allow you to control your own money, nor give you even bother to give you a reason why. As a Product Designer I can also confidently say the user experience is comical. Rather than drawing focus to the funds in your account, they prioritise how much you’ve spent that day by drawing contrast to this, rather than what you have available. The staff are rude, unhelpful and not remorseful in the slightest. The last straw for me was when my sister desperately needed me to send some money to her and Starling blocked it. When I asked why they refused to tell me. Reviewed on: 25th July 2024

Reply from Starling Bank Hi Connor, Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We're really sorry to hear about your experience. We appreciate how important it is to have control over your money. As a regulated and responsible bank, we sometimes review payments to keep us and our customers safe from potential fraud. We'll only reject a payment if we have reasons to believe an account isn't safe. Please be assured we don't make these decisions lightly. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us by phone or via the in-app live chat - we're available 24/7 and happy to help further.

Excellent straightforward banking for sole traders

As a sole trader, I was looking for a Business Bank account that didn’t eat into my modest income, as had happened with my previous bank once their introductory offer ceased. Starling provided just that and more. I find them straightforward to deal with, easy to use, and, unlike other banks I have used in the past, have caused me no difficulties at all.

User friendly mobile banking App is really good.

User friendly mobile banking App is really good. So far, i have never encountered any technical issues. Business categories are pre-defined so easy to tag and some are automatically tagged based on the transaction. Reviewed on: 18th April 2024
