The Way Banking Should be !

A Bank that leads the non-high-street way

5
I was at first skeptical signing up to Starling because I had never used any bank other than a high street one. The prospect of having everything done online, with no opportuntiy to visit a branch if anything went wrong, seemed daunting. Starling, however, completely put my mind at ease with a reassuring and surprisingly approach to banking. So much so I now believe that customers can gain a much more valuable experience without visiting a branch. Even though Starling's history in the banking world has been short, I believe they are leading the way - the non-high-street way. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Excellent features, especially when abroad

We travel a lot abroad, and always use our Starling Debit Card. We always get an excellent exchange rate to pounds Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Ease, control, simplicity!

5
I was very late in the game to finding Starling - a friend recommend them and if I am honest, I really wanted a current account that had a beautiful coloured debit card lol! I have both a current and business account with starling and I am over the moon with them! Everything is just easy and simple and doesn’t stress me out like my previous mainstream banks did. I feel like I have more control over my money with starling. In a period where we’ve had very little control over anything in our lives - this means a lot to me. I would recommend Starling to everyone and anyone for personal and business. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Trustworthy

I'm using the Starling Bank for a long time and I'm very happy with their service. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

All round excellence

5
I've been with Starling for over 4 years and would highly recommend them to anyone. Their app is quickest and easiest to use of all banking apps, and they are constantly adding fantastic new features, I particularly love using spaces and bills managers to be able to clearly only see my spending money in my current account, with bills being kept in separate pots. When I've had to get in touch with customer service I've accessed through the app and they have been effecient and very helpful. Even big offers of £150 to switch bank accounts haven't worked on me because I appreciate all of Starlings features so much. I very much see them as the future of banking.

Simple - Convenient - Excellent

5
A great range of features manage through an excellent app and desktop site. Simple and convenient to use. It doesn't just do what I expect an account to do, but it introduces me to features I didn't know I needed. Just excellent in every way. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

SUPER STARLING

5
I am fairly new to Starling but I am finding the app very easy to use. This account is linked to my paypal and everything functions without issue. I have interacted with advisors using the chat function which is exemplary and the advisors are friendly and efficient. All round so far a great experience. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
