best bank ever

Starling bank is the best in the UK banking industry with good services Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Switched to online banking with a switched on bank!

I've used one or two of the big high street named banks before and mainly for online banking. I found the apps a bit clunky and more often than not, my balance wasn't presented to me in real time, because, y'know, that's how life is and when I spend money I need to keep a track on what's In and out! I made a considered switch to starling after reviewing other competitors and I'm absolutely blown away by the service it provides me. Not only do I get real time balance updates, but it also tells me what's going to come out 24hrs before it's due! It also tells me how much I'll be paid by my employer (something I have to jump through hoops at work to find out). Setting up, editing and cancelling direct debits is actually fun and easy to do. Help on messaging is always at hand, even during the 'busy" periods other banks suffer from. I'd recommend this bank to anyone. Great service and fantastic app facilities.

User friendly application.

I joined starling few months ago and I am very satisfied with how easy and simple to use the app. I feel my money is in safe hands as I get notification, AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT, every time I do a transaction. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Excellent no fuss

I am a new customer and previously banked with a more well known High street bank. I will not return ... Starling so easy to use! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

What is there not too like?

I'm really very impressed by Starling. At last truly instant payment notifications and an app that is just a pleasure to use. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Best Bank App!

Setting up an account with Starling was incredibly easy, and having a digital first bank has made a huge difference during the pandemic - there are no processes that would usually involve going to a branch. My favourite feature is the Spaces savings goals - this has made it so easy to save regularly for particular costs, whether car insurance, a new phone or holidays. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
