User friendly, simple and efficient

I have recently changed from big bank to Starling and only regret I have it’s not to do it earlier. Everything is easy, intuitive and straightforward. It was refreshingly simple to open the account and make a switch. App is easy to navigate and meets all my needs with easy access to payments and balance. I still haven’t used some options but it meets my needs 100%. My last bank had rubbish system continually failing and making banking challenging. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

I've been with Starling for approx 6 months and switching was a great decision. Their investments strictly avoid fossil fuels so I know my money is not being used to unethical means. For me this is the most important thing I looked for when switching banks. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
