They stopped developing and moving on. Also, I will take decision my self when and how much to invest into cryptocurrencies. Reviewed on: 26th January 2023

The modern bank for a modern world

I live my life online so I expect to be able to manage my finances the same way. The apps that other banks provide are lacking, often created without thought of the end-user with overcomplicated login procedures and user interfaces decided by someone that has never used a mobile app. Starling are different. It's easy to setup, easy to use, and designed to be straight forward and clear at every step. It makes managing my finances swift and easy and all other banks really should learn from Starling.

Digital Banking as it should be.

Digital Banking with easy to use app. Offering multi currency functionality, all on one debit card. Superb. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Easy and fast

Banking brought into the current age of digital services. I gave up with First Direct, who were amazing for a long time but lost their way. Starling is a no brainer choice. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

Amazing current account

Forward thinking bank that “just works” Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

The Friendly Face of Online Banking

I have been with Starling for around 18 months and cannot fault their customer service, online security and easy to use app. With many of the "big" conventional banks closing their branches and seemingly turning their backs on customers it makes more sense to be with a bank that is caring towards its customers.

Simple and effective

I love using Starling for all my day to day banking. The savings spaces are neat, and the new feature being able to pay your bills from a savings space means I always know how much money I have left to spend. Reviewed on: 15th March 2022

I've been with starling for 3 years and couldn't be happier. Everything you need is there for you. Receiving money and paying in is so quick and easy. Your balance is always up to date so you know what's available to you. I like this bank very much and won't be changing any time soon. 10/10 for Starling Reviewed on: 15th March 2022
