I'm so glad I made the switch from a traditional bank to Starling, you have everything at you fingertips when controlling your money, the app is smooth and flows well, and everything is so easy and fast. Highly recommend. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Excellent online bank

Fantastic Online Bank

5
Everything in their brilliant app is easy to understand and use. Excellent functions include saving spaces to ring fence savings and an incredible array of card controls. I actually read their emails, which are always interesting and useful compared to comms from the other banks I use. I don’t feel that anything is lacking from the fact that Starling do not have branches. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Excellent App and Excellent Services. Customer Support is always helpful.

I have been using Starling for 7 months now and the experience has been phenomenal from the day I started. Any issues I had were dealt with promptly. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Slick, professional banking with an eye for detail

5
I’ve banked with Starling for several years. They provide an excellent service, with an eye for good design, and an impressive degree of transparency (what other bank has a podcast series about the software development behind their services?). On the rare occasions when I’ve needed to speak with a person, they’ve been knowledgeable, friendly and efficient - regardless of the time of day or night. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

All round amazing Bank!

5
The customer service is absolutely amazing, they're so helpful and considerate. The features in the app are all straight forward to use and the financial data Starling provides me is presented in a digestible manner. The fact that with each referral they plant a tree is also a great bonus. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

It Just Works

SOOO SIMPLE /CONVENIENT FOE BUSY PEOPLE

Honestly can't believe how simple this is compared to traditional banking. Linking new accounts so getting a joint acc once the current acc set up and a card for my daughter. Starling I'm hooked! Just need to add the rounding up feature on transactions and I'll be 110% happy. Thank you for a wonderful service!! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
