Impressive experience

We recently switched our current account to Starling Bank. The process was very impressive. We particularly appreciated the regular progress notices. The app is brilliant. It is easy to use. We particularly like the instant notification when a transaction is made and the notifications about upcoming outgoing payments. The level of security is also very reassuring. Delighted so far and would highly recommend Starling Bank to family and friends. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

So easy and informative to use

I find knowing instantly how my account stands is so convenient. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

The best bank by miles

Everything works perfectly, money easy to view, access and move to savings/spaces. Break downs of spending. Updates every transaction. Great International rates, free. App is incredible with every feature needed to just make life simple. I'm saving more than ever because of the Spaces, and use them to frequently put money aside for my car, birthdays, Xmas etc/whatever. Never hit by surprise purchases anymore. I used to be scared to log in and look at my account, now I'm confident to stay in touch with my money. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
