Great Bank

It’s a Great Bank. I’m happy to be a Custmer Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Excellent bank

5
Switching to Starling was so quick to complete. Customer care are really friendly and helpful with any queries that arise. Have already recommended to a few people who have opened an account with Starling bank Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

A superb bank

5
My experience with Starling has been superb. They put the customer first. They respond immediately. They solve any issues. They do not try and exploit customers like the high street banks do (overcharging, PPI, slow transfers). They keep innovating and improving their offer. Theirs is a happy can-do culture. I would not like to be a high street bank competing with Starling. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Best move

5
I had banked with HSBC since I was 17, so it was a daunting prospect to change banks after so many years. But it has been the best decision I could have made. I love the app and the control I now have. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Awesome

Fantastic account with total control and a few extras Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Great App, great service

5
I'm very happy with my bank, which has surprised me. My previous service was antiquated - no contactless, no app, poor website. Now I have a great App which is really easy to manage my funds. I've now moved my business account to Starling too. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Part of my everyday life

5
So simple to set up, native app work amazingly and really easy to understand my money. Faith that they are constantly adding new functionality and can respond to regulation / market opportunities Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

"...fava beans and a nice chianti"

5
So Starling... I don't usually leave reviews; however, if you are going to create an on-line banking platform with, (so far), no tech issues, no delays, no over complicated procedures to obtain a new card when you accidentally used it as an ice scraper... Then you can expect a positive review... Sss sss sss sss sss Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

very user friendly

5
I have an income in euros and was being ripped off by my previous bank on the exchange rate. The Starling account allows me a euro and sterling account with a very generous exchange rate. Should have moved sooner. Easy to use account. Reviewed on: 30th March 2021

Brilliant

Breath of fresh air in an outdated banking world. Simple and clear. Well done starling! Reviewed on: 30th March 2021
