No-Nonsense

No waiting, no excuses, simple easy banking, they show the others how it should be done. Reviewed on: 3rd February 2023

Does what a bank is supposed to do

Good technology and security yet easy to use. None of the faff of old-school banks. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Great online bank

Instant notifications about spending, easy access to spaces and easily interchange money between personal and joint accounts. The app is super easy and categorises your payments, which helps to budget. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Great bank

Great customer service, Greta app, it works instantaneously everywhere, abroad included. Love the pound and euro accounts working seamlessly. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Very easy to use

Easy to switch. Great ‘spaces’ to be able to separate money Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

A new customer

I have been with Starling for 9 months and their service and the app have been well beyond my expectations for a current account. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Practical and not archaic

It’s a low benchmark these days for a bank to achieve the things customers are asking for. Cheques payable from home rather than at the ‘local’ bank (that’s 30 miles away) etc. I moved to starling and I couldn’t be happier. My favourite feature is the spaces because you can set money aside on pay day/day of your choice and your bills will be paid from that space. The only thing I wished they also did was make it possible to pay recurring debit card transactions from those spaces too. The other features I like are setting up payees so if they have more than one account, you can list them all under their name. You can even add a photo. It’s just a practical bank that’s not stuck in the 1800s. Would happily recommend to all. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Surpasses Expectations

I expected Starling to be good. They've turned out to be excellent. Reviewed on: 24th March 2022

Soaring high

I just love Starling. It’s so easy to use, immediately you know when you have just used your card and that makes me feel very safe. Brilliant customer service too. Why wouldn’t you change ? Reviewed on: 24th March 2022
