Great bank

Love Starling Bank. Wish they would enable my husband and I to open a partnership business account which is currently not possible. I would love to do ALL my banking with them Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Great service. The Starling App is so customer friendly

I have found Starling banking service very user friendly and easy to understand. The 'space' option is great for paying bills and knowing exactly how much money you have to spend. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Banking that's fit for modern day

Innovative thinking and clearly designed by people with modern-day technology in mind. I was tired of slow transaction updates, and a clunky online portal with my old bank so I made the switch to Starling and couldn't be happier. For too long banks have benefitted from the streamlining of a cashless society, online spending, and accelerated transactions but despite this, they have been woeful in enabling customers to better manage their finances with these advances, and still, they found time to patronize us with advertising campaigns about how much they care and want us to be better with money. Starling doesn't do this, it just makes banking easier, clearer and removes the fear around checking your balance as you always know what's happening with your money, and importantly it takes no extra effort or time. Banking that's fit for the modern-day. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Overall experience

The handiest, most user friendly and instantaneous service of all. I love it’s responsiveness and easy to navigate functionality. My go to banking system. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022

Easy balance review

It's the very first time I've found a bank that gives my balance every time I view my account or spend. Reviewed on: 18th January 2022
