Very easy graphic interface

The app is so easy to use and the service is great if something goes wrong. I love the simplicity of the app and how quick the transactions are recorded and debited or credited. They have led the way to a new banking future! Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Simply the best

5
I’ve had many bank accounts over the years but have to say this is the best and my personal favourite, it’s just so easy to use, from locking your card to putting away savings, not to mention the easiest way ever to open an account just from your phone. Can’t recommend enough, told all my friends who then went on to open accounts too. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Exceptional levels of Capability

5
I only recently joined Starling Bank after my wife extolled the virtues of all things Starling set against the competition. With everything from the ease of transfers, the ability to pay for things abroad with exceptional exchange rates and the outstanding security features, where you are empowered to help stop fraud; What is not to like? I have had two chats to sort out international money transfers, and a card authorization issue, and they were completed in under 5 mins via live chat through the App and quickly resolved. Would I recommend this to others? I already have! I am a fan and I now use the capabilities provided daily. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Just what all banks should be

5
After moving from a traditional bank to Starling I realised that I had been stuck in a dark room as far as my bank was concerned. Switching to Starling felt like moving from a dark winters day to midsummer in the click of a button. Great service, outstanding product. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Amazing

Had banked with Natwest for all my life, but Starling’s digital-first approach resonates strongly with a millennial. Couldn’t be more impressed with the service / app / company culture. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
