Excellent bank for every need

Good banking

Their banking especially the mobile banking is easy to understand and use Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Best British bank

Ok, while I admit I haven’t tried every option available in my 40 years of running current accounts I have tried quite a few. First Direct have been brilliant but I think Starling has the edge. The app is great, it works with Fitbit Pay and Samsung Pay and the ability to draw out cash abroad with no fees is (or soon will be) a real winner. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Straightforward Bank

Straightforward Bank, no hidden charges , commissions and terms. No Charges when travelling outside UK. Simple to operate. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Best bank I've ever used.

I've used Starling for a couple of years and it is such a pleasure. Before covid we used to travel a fair amount and the ease of using the card abroad made such a difference, we only had to take a small amount of local currency for the initial taxi or coffee then the rest of the trip we used Starling and the better exchange rate. One one occasion my wife's card must have been cloned somewhere but with the instant notification we were able to stop the card immediately. Starling dealt with it really well and all the fraudulent spending was reimbursed quickly. Absolutely brilliant service would recommend to everyone. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Perfect way to manage my money

A great app, spaces prove really inspiring and helpful in getting saving for different things. The only one thing I would like is for the card to work at petrol pumps, as my local service station is pump only, and I have to travel a little further for my fuel. Small gripe though, very happy so far. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Best bank ever!

I love how the transactions are instant, the money is out of my account by the time I'm handed my receipt, the app is brilliant and excellent customer support Reviewed on: 18th April 2021
