A Bank for C21st Living - Smart, simple and safe

Smart, simple and safe, Starling Bank provides a great service easily and effectively Reviewed on: 23rd February 2022

Clear, simple and thoroughly enjoyable

I really can’t think of any faults with starling. The app is so easy to use to deposit/withdraw/spend money with the ability to categorise transactions to be able to easily see how much you spend monthly on bills/food/transport etc. It has been so valuable for personal use as well as budgeting in the joint current account with my partner. I really like the added security when adding new payees as well, with starling able to often confirm the account to pay is correct before you’ve even paid. Customer service was so helpful when I believed I had been scammed and resolved my issue so quickly, professionally with their actions really putting me at ease. Amazing bank that I will continue to use for many years to come! Reviewed on: 22nd February 2022

Banking made simple

Love the Starling app and all that can be done with it. Have previously had to ask a bank for more savings accounts to get places to set-aside money for certain things, but now I can have as many Spaces as I want. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2022

Top Bank

Starling is a very apt name, you only have to watch a murmuration of starlings to see the accuracy, speed and coordination of their flight. Which I think sums up the bank to a tee. Everything spot on, transactions shown instantly, and smoothly. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2022
