Intuitive & convenient bank

5
The app has lots of features without feeling cluttered. I find the app most intuitive experience in comparison to other challenger banks. The current account doesn't hide features behind a paywall; it seems Starling has a coherent vision for what it wants to be which aspires trust. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Excellent bank, slight niggles but nothing major

5
I love the app and the bank, it's so seamless to do anything and review processes are quite fast (when suspicious transactions are detected). My only criticism is I wish the UI was more like Monzo in the account section to see for example money coming in as green, and money out as red. Apart from that I am sticking with Starling all the way and has been my main account for a while now. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

A budgeting powerhouse

The ability to separate money into Virtual spaces and pay bills from them is excellent! Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Poor Experience

1
Had a poor experience with Starling Bank. Their customer service was poor, leading to a complaint and then a complaint to the ombudsman who sided in my favor. The app feels clunky and slow. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022

Is a bank just a bank?

5
A bank is just a bank right, so it's a bit weird to have an emotional attachment to it. I've had accounts with a number of banks before, from the super fancy to the mundane, but this is the first time I've got excited about banking. Love the app love the service. Everyone should bank with Starling. Reviewed on: 24th January 2022
