Best bank I have ever been with

5
In my time I have held various bank accounts but still continue to be very impressed with the features and security of my account. On the very rare occasion I have had to deal with customer service they have been quick and efficient in solving my problems Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Never looking back!

I opened an account with Starling in September 2021 and I’ve never been happier with my banking! It’s super accessible on the app, and the ‘spaces’ are incredible! I have it set so that whenever I spend money, the amount is rounded up to the next pound and the excess it added into a space that I’m using to save up for things coming up this year. Honestly the whole experience banking with Starling has been nothing short of a dream, I simply cannot fault it! Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

So quick and simple!

Everything you need, love the spaces, bill paying etc. Had similar thing with Intelligent Finance for around 20 years, but this is so inaccessible. About time there was a product like this, I'd give it 110%. Fantastic Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

I originally opened an account just to use when traveling overseas, due to their no charge and excellent exchange rates. I was very impressed with them as a comany and subsequently moved all my making to them Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Everything about Starling is just 5 Star Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

great bank and better than the old fashion banks.

I don't know how Starling turned to be better than huge and legacy banks. In the end, I enjoy using it and the dashboard is cool. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Brilliant banking service and apo

5
Moved over to Starling about 12 months ago. The app is very useful. Much more intuitive than the one I had from a high street bank. Paying bills and etc is made easy and straightforward, no messing around with card readers, numerous authorisation steps. Highly recommended Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

What a Bank

5
I have been a Customer since 2018 and have seen amazing changes to their banking app. These changes have made life so much easier in this busy world we live in. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
