Best banking experience in years

starling has proven the easiest banking facility ever coupled with everything you could want from a bank immediately to hand Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Totally brilliant !

5
After years of being with a highstreet bank I decided to switch to online only . I hated having to drive to the next town to queue for ages to use a machine or to sort out something simple with a cashier. Starling is amazing to use,the app keeps me updated with all my transactions, and always easily accessible for my day to day needs . Wish I'd switched sooner . Couldn't recommend more 5 stars !!!!

Just the easiest experience

5
I used the automatic account transfer service they offer to make starling my main account - it worked perfectly and I didn’t have to check on anything. I love the interface and the ease with which I can see all my spendings, and go back and recategorise/add notes to outgoings so I can remember what they are. The new payee verification is a great touch too. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Starling have made my day-to-day life easier, with x2 accounts and all my savings now with them. I was with HSBC for 15+ years prior, and their approach was out of date then. Goodbye 45 minutes on hold. Hello instant chat and speedy resolution for my issue. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021

Best banking app

The app is easy to use - it notifies by push any transactions and gives you a heads up for any upcoming payments. I love the saving spaces which allows me to save easily without opening multiple accounts. Overall starling is a great bank. Reviewed on: 29th March 2021
