Since switching to Starling I have had nothing but excellent customer service. The current account is spot on, and the app is a great way to manage my money. I have recommended Starling to so many people! Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Relaxed experience

Relieved my anxiety in search for a bank . Starling provided the answers to all my immediate needs which facilitated application for a very essential document for employment . Thank you. Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Just excellent

5
This system is so well designed; I had no idea that banking could be so easy. I set up my account from a car in Scotland in about ten minutes. Finally a sensible password system which is designed to protect me rather than just cover the bank’s back while being impossible to remember! Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

great experience

5
attractive, easy to use interface, lots of actually practical features like spaces that really work, great customer experience Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Clear, responsive & features

5
Starling seems to have much cleare overwiev over transactions, search results. Something I was supposed about is responsiveness, as the don't have phone number and communication need to be via chats expected responses in days for each new question, but always got in few hours, might seem long for some, but so simple, just write ur enquiry and soon you will have answere and it will stay with you for reference. Starling features are amazing, mainly spaces, where you can create like separate bank account to save for something or for paying bills or separate accounts for multiple categories of bills. Money can be moved to space or back to account free and instant. Space don't have new account number but it is separate from other parts of account. Have been with Starling only about year, but have enjoyed a lot. Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

Just gets better and better
