A 21st Century Bank with crystal clear ways , aims & paramet

Easy to Access once initial set-up complete. User-friendly . Feels personalised but not invasive nor carries that embedded ‘stuffiness’ or image - incorporating often narrow ,unimaginative practices - which many of our financial institutions are unable to shed- despite their efforts. Best wishes Grandmother, linguist and Teacher. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Starling provides all round excellent online banking

I had become unhappy with my current online bank that I had been with for over 20 years. I researched Starling bank and really admired their company ethos. I joined Starling last year and I’m so glad I did. The transition from my old bank was smooth, all was taken care of for me. The App has many innovative features and is so easy and great to use wherever I may be. I particularly like the ‘Spaces’ feature; you can create Spaces to automatically have money moved over from your current account to put aside for various things, e.g. household bills, fuel, savings. I feel secure using Starling, in my opinion their security is second to none. I envisage staying with Starling for years to come - they’re the best! Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Stress free

Easy without any hassle. Receiving and transfer is fund is very easy. I am not afraid of money leaving account because it always needs my verification for any card payment to be made online. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
