Best bank ever

I never faced any problems with starling, they are the best Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

Breath of fresh air for retail banking

5
Finally, a retail bank that's responsive to its customers' needs. I've nothing but praise for Starling since I switched earlier this year. Seamless transfer of my old account, easy to use app and a simple, transparent way of managing my money. The icing on the cake was the simplicity of opening up a joint account - a matter of minutes compared to the weeks it would have taken with my old provider! I've nothing but praise for Starling, I recommend them frequently (and I promise I'm not on the payroll). Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

So glad we found Starling Bank! So easy to set up, and even link a joint account to. Really helped us budget by categorising our spends.
