Best bank by far!

I joined Starling 2 years and couldn’t imagine going back to other banks. The app is fast and user friendly. They have great options to help save and speedy notifications after purchases. They give great advice and tips. I have never had so much help organising my money before Starling! Wonderful bank, I always recommend them! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

The future of Banking

Since joining Starling I have used the app almost daily. It’s very easy and quick to access all my info also the text alerts to my watch are almost instantaneous. Great job Starling........highly recommended Devices used: iPhone 11 Pro & Apple Watch 6 Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

great bank & app for a current account

The app is great, feels safe, and seamless to use. The current account pays an interest without a minimum-£-held limit, that too at a competitive rate. It's nice to be able to support a female-led and run business in this otherwise patriarchal world. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
