Just will not listen

When I first started with Starling, they were great. Now however, I find they treat their customers with some disdain. My experience with their feedback process ('starlingbank dot com/contact/') is if you use it, they email you back and tell you to go to the app. If you've crafted a detailed email with your feedback originally, then you are told to go to the app which is limited to 500 characters, you could come unstuck. Challenging for anyone who has communication challenges wishing to articulate feedback effectively. They also do not respond to any feedback submitted. So I officially complained, Starling upheld my complaint and agreed their web site is misleading in this regard, but five months later, no change to their website. As this is not a financial matter involving money, the FCA will not look into this. So Starling just continues to ignore and mislead its customers with regards to feedback.

The best banking experience by far

I have been using starling for the last 6 months after hearing it recommended on a podcast. I am absolutely in love with the app. It has transformed my banking experience from the highstreet bank I was with. I LOVE the spaces facility, it makes it so much easier to hit savings goals by being able to separate out your money and put a name to that space. The spending tracker is so helpful to actually see where money is going each month. Honestly, the best bank move I have ever made. Thank you starling for transforming day to day banking.
