Quick, easy, straightforward

We love pur new bank so happy with the app, we see clearly the spending and even can add notes to them. We can create an extra saving 'pot'for holidays or something inside the account, it was easy to set up joint account. I highly recommend them Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

So glad I switched!

5
I used to bank with a traditional high street bank but was fed up of receiving different advice depending on branch/phone/Internet. It caused so many issues for me. A friend recommended Starling and its the best thing I've done. Easy to use. Brilliant ways to manage my money and keep on track. Plus, when I have spoken to customer support, it has been helpful and consistent. Brilliant service so far. I can't recommend it enough. Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

Transparent service

No hassle bank

Having opened 2 accounts I found it really easy and the app is clear and simple. It’s nice to receive notifications when someone has paid me Reviewed on: 12th February 2022

No branches, no problem

5
My experience with Starling is hugely satisfying. They do what it says on the tin. Having no branches is not a problem. If I need to pay in cash I can do it at a Post Office. The speed of transferring money between different bank accounts shocked my sister. Seconds, not minutes or days. They notify me of every transaction immediately. No Ifs no Buts. I can't fault them Reviewed on: 12th February 2022
