Superb Bank

5
I had been with HSBC for over 30 years so was unsure which bank to move to, I’m really glad I picked Starling. It’s so easy to use their app to check balance and make payments, I also love the notifications when money is paid in or out of my account. Would definitely recommend Starling Bank Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Fast, Accessible and Efficient

As an international student all the other banks I tried to open an account with required long and stressful documentation to prove my status. Starling had the least stressful requirements and I was able to get my card within a few days of opening my bank account. I am truly grateful for the ease of payments, saving spaces and the spending summary features I have experienced with Starling. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Recommended by my partner, and after finding my previous bank increasingly frustrating, I made the change to Starling Bank. I can say the transfer process was incredibly easy, transactions are seamless, I love the 'spaces' you can have on the app. Wish I'd moved over to them earlier! Reviewed on: 13th March 2022

Leading capability

Moved from HSBC because they were awful and charged me for the privilege. Starling have been brilliant to deal with since hour 1. Leading capability. Reviewed on: 13th March 2022
