Helps keep you in control

Love the little touches that help. Warning when a bill is going to be paid, the spaces for saving, the emails with expert help and tips to help you manage your money. Love it. Have recommended and wouldn’t change. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Amazing bank!

I switched to Starling as my previous bank didn’t offer great online and phone support, and especially with the Coronavirus and branches being closed, it was very hard to get help. As well as offering 24/7 help, it’s also so easy to apply for an account, all your spending is divided into categories, and the savings spaces are a really neat feature. So impressed with Starling, I got my whole family to switch! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

The Starling bank account is a great place to keep money. I get notified about everything that’s going on and I have complete faith in them. Always friendly and approachable it delivers exactly what you would expect from a modern bank Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Best bank we have ever been with

5
We’ve used RBS, NatWest, HSBC, Halifax and Lloyds over the years before switching to Starling just over a year ago. Starling is light years ahead. The app operates as one would expect nowadays and provides all the facilities and functionalities required. Wouldn’t recommend anything else! Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Great app

Slick app with great user experience. Love the ability to set sub-accounts of goals and getting notifications the day before a scheduled payment is due. Reviewed on: 6th April 2021

Much better than my old High St bank
