How could I choose anyone else?

Starling is just faster, smarter, prettier, simpler.. I can’t imagine not having a notification for every in and out, I don’t know how starling do it but refund payments always take less than two days vs the “5-7 working days” from the past. Saving with “spaces” just simply beats any other kind of saving accounts system every other bank uses. You best bet I recommend starling to my family and friends every time I hear about the outdated tech and legacy features that is the unfortunately norm for most people who put up with outdated banks. Starling damn well deserves this award! Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

After being with conventional high street banks doe years, I decided to switch to starling for my personal current account. It was so easy and fast transaction and starling took care of moving all my direct debits and payment details with no issues what so ever, would not bank with a high street bank again.

I like that I can manage my money and spending so easily having a Starling account on my phone. Instant access without having to pass several security stages, but still secure. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022
