Peace of mind haven

Starling gives me the feeling that I am in control and that is a great relief. There are no shocks or suprise debits for banking just calm Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

So easy and immediate

Brilliant bank, everything is immediately done, transfers direct debits, cheques, best move I made Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

They Do Evertoything To Help

I love the fact that I can engage with someone well after purported business hours. I had a situation that I couldn't resolve and began a chat with their support team. I was talking with them for 40 minutes and the chat began after 9pm. I am unaccustomed to that level of attention and support and it certainly is a winning feature of this bank. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Tried a few online banking and I was disappointed

But then I tried Starling and I am loving it. Easy to use. Very useful features. You can do everything online. I love it, it makes my everyday banking easier and more fun. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Easy online banking

On recommendation I opened an account and it couldn’t have been easier. I have now just switched my other accounts to starling and this was carried out with great efficiency and ease. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Seamless

Setup to using the account is virtually seamless, layout of the app is clear and simple. Great features ton help with budgeting that other banks do not facilitate. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Brilliant Bank Account

I have held a Starling account for a number of years and decided to move our Joint Account from Nationwide a couple of years ago - the best thing i did as it is so easy to manage our financial affairs with the comprehensive App. Would recommend it to anyone - don't stick with the larger banks. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

A Very Different Way of Banking

What’s not to love about Starling, they certainly think outside the box of traditional banking. I love the ‘Spaces’ and use them for all sorts of things. Not just my holiday fund and spending money for the month. It helps me save towards my goals too, Really like the ease of using this card abroad too, it’s great to see my transaction in both the local currency and pounds. Definitely, a forward thinking company, I can’t wait to see what will come next… Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Best online banking experience

The online personal account was very easy to setup, and even easier to use. I find the instant notification when the account is used very useful as it shows my real-time balance so I always know exactly how much money I have left. Money transfers easy; in fact I've not found anything I can't do. I'm so confident in using my starling account I'm seriously considering moving my Barclays accounts over Reviewed on: 17th January 2022

Excellent bank account

Brilliant user friendly app and features. We love using Spaces. Reviewed on: 17th January 2022
