The way Banking should be!

I absolutely love my Starling account. I only opened it up in the last year and it has really helped me save for things using the Spaces feature. By not being able to 'see' the money you have put into a Space, you are then not tempted to go over on your day-to-day spending. Our whole family is now using Starling and to transfer money to one another is really easy. I also love that I have control over the contactless limit! It's a very empowering banking system. All round the best banking experience to date for me! Keep up the great work! Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Everything you need - Easy to use -

So easy to setup - up & running immediately. Quality product and pays interest on the balance in your a/c. All the features I need. Embarrassing for the bigger more established banks as Starling really are in tune with todays needs for banking and the others really are not. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

It's all just so easy to use.

Simple to set up, easy to use. No more traipsing in and out of banks, I can do it all on my phone. I like the way I can also hook up to my laptop. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

The best bank I've had.

I've had experience with 5 different high St banks and I honestly only signed up to Starling on a whim. I've since left the other bank I was with and simply adore Starling. It's so easy, it's secure, the customer service is brilliant and UK based. I can't fault it at all. I love the fact I can have multiple saving pots on the go which is great for budgeting. My card details are always with me and I'm instantly notified when the card has been used. Making payments to others is easy and knowing in advance what I have coming in or going out is so helpful. Definitely sticking with Starling. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Motion of the ocean

It was an absolute swimming experience and I had ever so much ease using the application which Starling Bank had provided. I feel obliged and honoured to write this review. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Everything I want from a bank

I've been with Starling Bank for 3 years now and and I have always been really impressed with the service and features provided. Starling has helped me and my family take better care of our finances. By far our most used feature in the App is Spaces, and the ability to pay bills directly from Spaces has made keeping on top on regular payments so much easier! When my daughter is old enough, I intend to set her up with a Kite account so that she can benefit from Starling's approach to managing money too. I reccomend Starling to anyone who will listen!

Excellent service

Very professional and easiest way to bank. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Outstanding

From initial opening of my account. I have had nothing but positive experiences with Starling. The ease of managing my account, the option of prompt of updates and simplicity of it all. Customer service is the best I have experienced. I am beginning to have memory problems. Consequently I got myself into a bit of a pickle with passwords and pin numbers at the check out of a busy supermarket. Starling Customer Service rescued me, helping me reset my account and paying for my groceries. The Spaces system is exactly what I need. I used to need 3 separate accounts, now its all in one app I have an account for traveling abroad within my Starling account making travel finances so easy. All in all, Starling Bank is a Benchmark that other banks should aspire to. Outstanding! Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
