Good app

Works brilliantly on the app. My only reservation is that there is not an alternative Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

Cool features, experience, and interest rate

4
Easy to use, nice app experience, and good interest rate. The saving space feature is wonderful. The only weak point is the spending analysis; I think it is lacking the ability to compare spending across different months. Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

Banking with Starling is hassle free, they seem to have thought everything through beforehand and have everything in place to deal with any issues you may have. Really great bank. Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

I recommend everyone

5
Banking with Starling is sooooo easy! They notify you of all incoming and outgoing payments, when payments are due and they automatically block your card with suspicious activity. I lost a card, it got blocked and a new one was sent the day after! So efficient! Friendly service! I have saving spaces, shopping spaces and I can see EVERYTHING on my app. I even have a joint account with my partner, that we manage through the app. I recommend everyone I know, to switch to Starling!

Best bank in UK

It’s perfect in everything, the only issue is when you are a foreign without proof of adress Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

Amazing

5
The switch to starling was so streamlined it's unbelievable. Setting up the account was as easy as the ABC and we were notified every step of the way. Paying in money to the account provides real live time updates and banking could not be any easier. Thank you Starling. Reviewed on: 1st April 2021

New Starling Customer

5
Moved to starling in Feb from a major high street bank. Starling have been great. Account open within hours, card delivered 3 days after account application. The user interface is easy and breaks down spending into any category you wish. This allows for easy budgetting. Saving spaces allow for different pots rather than having 4/5 savings accounts I had previously. I’d recommend starling to everybody I know. Reviewed on: 1st April 2021
