Amazing customer service. The in app web chat service is fast and efficient.

I'm impressed with Starling's card security options, lack of charges, jargon-free descriptions of facilities, instant reporting of spending on the account. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Good online only bank but not as flexible as I thought!!

3
Great Instant notifications, good security, good features!! However, it is not as flexible as one may think..!!! Starling cannot alter its monthly charges to a convenient date, eg payday, to avoid further charges when you are already overdrawn!!! If this is altered will definitely be the best online/App based bank ever!!! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
