Starling are the best everything at my fingertips... notifications to let me know all actions... I moved from my local bank to Starling and its banking service is superior Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Quick to set up, easy to use

It took 2 hours for Starling to validate my details and open account. I did this from the comfort of my couch! Lloyds were asking me to come over to branch to open an account while Omicron variant was getting people sick. I recommend this bank over everyone else. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Great experience overall since I have started using it Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Easy to manage and understand

I find it very easy to manage my savings as well as knowing how much I spent. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Exactly what I'd been looking for

5
Starling is completely at home in my phone, they bring out app features I never even knew I needed (and it turns out I needed separate spaces for my direct debits and credit card bills), I love the app metrics, how I can divide up my spending and earnings easily. I keep forgetting I don't need my card for spending any more. Most of all, banking is easy. I have had current accounts at a few different banks and I've never got as far as content. I'm happy here. Starling is the best bank I've ever been with and I've already recommended it to every person under 40 I've met since joining. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent

Great easy way to manage my money Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Brilliant straight forward banking

5
I wanted an easy to use modern online bank account. I found it. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Simple, straight forward and easy to use....

5
This current account / app is so straight forward and easy to use I sometimes wonder what the catch is. Whether at home or abroad it is my preferred method of payment as the "push notification" straight to your phone confirms you've paid, but more importantly, paid the right amount. Started off with one family member trying the app, now we all use it - fantastic. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Ever since opening my account with Starling back in the early days, the constant updates and supporting their ever growing customer base has been fantastic. I have never been very financially savvy and the ease of using their account facilities has been second to none. To give an example, budgeting my money had always been a weak spot for me, the recent update of being able to pay your bills from a space separating your bills money from your available money is a great product and so easy to set up. Credit where credit is due, keep up the good work Starling, fair and excellent banking made simple, well done. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
