So bloody handy

5
I’m so glad I switched to Starling bank, it’s just so wonderfully easy. If ever I’ve had any problems they have sorted it out straight away without any hassle. I always recommend Starling to my friends. My son loves his kite card too. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Customer centric products

5
I have found my switch to Starling to be a breath of fresh air in an industry full of stuffy old world banks where the bank expects the customer to bend to their will. Starling provides products the customer wants snd needs in use friendly and reasonably priced packages Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Easy to use!

5
I have moved 2 business accounts and a personal account to Starling. Easy to use , I have approached Customer service a couple of times and they solved my queries there and then. My eldest child has an account and not only does it make him feel responsible he has also started budgeting rather than just asking for more from Dad ! Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Excellent Kids App

5
I’m delighted with the kite app and account for my 12 year old. She’s very excited about having her own card and being able to shop online and I’m pleased I can monitor and track her spending as well as automatically add her pocket money each week. It’s easy to use, helpful and with excellent service from Starling. I highly recommend using them. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Great way to learn about money

My daughter and I love the account as it teaches her real life money management skills, something that she is not taught in school. Reviewed on: 5th February 2022

Excellent for my children

5
Great experience, love that it is helping them learn about finance and online banking. Experience has been great with Starling- even hiccups are dealt with appropriately and quickly. Leaving me feeling very supported and listened to which is very unlike my past banking experiences. Reviewed on: 4th February 2022
