Revolutionised my finances

This app has everything. Easy to open an account and use. The spaces mean that for the first time I am budgeting properly and saving money. I’ve always kept spreadsheets but they didn’t do the job as easily and effectively as putting your money into pots. I also have a joint account with my disabled son. It allows me to give him access to enough money to be independent but to keep him safe from scammers. Perfect. Thank you. Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Started banking with starling a couple of years ago, and have had no problems at all - just efficient service Reviewed on: 15th April 2021

Almost perfect

4
I've only been with Starling for around a month now. I have found the services to be very quick and simple to use. Paying a cheque in via the app by taking a photo took less than 2 days to clear into my account. Been able to deposit money at my local post office beats the drive and wait at the dwindling high street banks. Only missed out on 5 stars as the response time from the online only help can take a while to respond. Certainly not the worst I've used but certainly not as quick or easy as calling my previous high street telephone banking service. Overall I'm happy I've moved to Starling, and would certainly reccomend it to anyone contemplating the move. Quicker response and resolution to queries would have got full 5 stars.
