Best banking experience

Many features of the 21st century whilst others are left behind. All presented in an easy to use package, made for non-bankers. Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Easiest bank I have ever used

I like that I can find all the merchants I've used and spaces and the fact I can pay in a smaller cheque with a photo Reviewed on: 18th April 2021

Simple, understandable supportive banking

I love Starling. From the simplicity of the app which has an abundance of features including locking your card or even viewing it if you don't have it with you. The saving spaces which are like little pots and you can have as many as you wish. I specifically like the feature that tells me how much is going into my account the next day. I can see what I've spent on that month too. Starling is a great online bank, it's very supportive, easy to use and I recommend to everyone. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021

modern convenient banking with continuous improvement

Have banked with Starling for a two years, and find them so much more up-to-date and convenient than my traditional bank account. App and online services are intuitive and smart, they continually improve and innovate, and I find my linked Euro denominated current account absolutely brilliant for my purposes. Rated them down one start because of minor limitations - can't use the card at my local petrol station (embarrassing when I didn't know and tried), and also no override to enable transfers or payments above their transaction limits. My German Postbank online account lets me change the preset transaction size limits so I can make a 1m Euros payment electronically. My UK bank doesn't let me do this electronically, but forces me to make a written request. From Starling I was forced to make a series of daily payments over a couple of weeks (which they told me was a limitation of their banking licence). Setting aside those minor issues which won't bother most people Starling is the best thing since sliced bread. Reviewed on: 17th April 2021
