Excellent game changer to banking convieniently

Starling has augmented my banking life with long time banking choice HSBC. It's to the point now that most of my funds occur via Starling; including KITE which has been great for my sub 16 little one in her tween years. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

I love this bank!

The app is awesome, everything is made as easy as possible for users. I feel the bank is responsive to customers. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Total control

5
Peace of mind, knowing that you have full control of your card. Especially when worried about using dodgy cash machines when travelling. I just lock everything and open when needed. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Simply Excellent

So easy to navigate and understand highly recommend Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Banking for the real world

5
I cant even say that Starling are forward thinking. Its more that they seem to be the only bank that have REALLY listened to the average, everyday person and created a bank and an app that meets those needs. They do a few things exceptionally well, rather than having all manner of complicated, convoluted accounts and products that don't quite hit the mark. The app makes banking so simple it's almost unbelievable. And founded by a Welsh woman to top it all off. The most exciting thing to happen to modern banking in a very long time. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent personal banking

5
We switched a year or so ago and have never looked back. You can manage the account from your phone and it is designed to make your life easier, rather than the bank. So different to high street banks. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

How banks should be

Very easy to apply

I recently moved to the UK and needed banking service as soon as possible and starling bank was the fastest to open an account. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent banking experience from the start

5
Very responsive, intuitive and professional. Other banks could should learn from this one. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

All In One service just at fingertips.

I'm quite amazed with the starling bank and its excellent banking features but would like to suggest one thing about cash deposits, I feel considering the enormity of its users Starling Bank should install its own Cash Machines, Deposit Machines for more convenience to users and reduce the hassle of walking upto post offices or avoid extra deposit/withdrawal charges from other bank machines.
