I just love the bank and the App. Was with HSBC prior but starling is so much better, neater and the customer service is excellent. Given me faith back in the banking system Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Brilliant App!

Since switching to Starling I’ve found it so much easier to keep control of my money. The ‘saving spaces’ can be used to both save and also to budget for all your bills and standing orders. All my bills are paid from one of the spaces and it’s topped up automatically each month on pay day. Which means that what I ‘see’ in my current account is mine to spend without finding out I’ve forgotten a bill later in the month with nothing left to pay it with! Awesome!

Eat banking app by far

So glad that I opened this account. I’m currently transferring all my banking over to them. The advance notice you get about your payments and extra security they provide in payments leaving your account make this a no brainier. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

Why I think I have made the right choice with Starling Bank

5
Since I starting banking with Starling I have been most impressed with the selection of options available, most of which I have found to be very useful or helpful. Reviewed on: 16th February 2022

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 You best bet I recommend starling to my family and friends every time I hear about the outdated tech and legacy features that is the unfortunately norm for most people who put up with outdated banks.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

No complaints!

Excellent Banking Experience

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.
