In all the banks I have had the pleasure of banking with, this one outshines them all by 100% Its easy to understand, no complicated instructions and love the different areas (we call them tiles) for saving for specific events. Keep up the good work Starling Bank Reviewed on: 17th February 2022

If you’re trying to save money it’s the best. You can easily and visually see how much money you’re spending each week. It allows you to see where you’re spending the most for example on groceries or travel etc. Easy to get through to help on the phone. It has some fantastic features such as being able to see card details through the app. I no longer have to keep getting up to find my card. I could go on and on but it’s fantastic.

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

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
