Better than all the other fintech products out there

Starling has to be one of the best fintech products out there. Minimal restrictions on overseas spending (and withdrawals!). Great app, with useful insights Reviewed on: 28th March 2021

Easy, Fast, Useful, Secure

This really ticks all the boxes and ethical to boot! Reviewed on: 28th March 2021

We swapped best banks. Best Decision ever

5
We swapped bank accounts and this was by far the BEST decision we have ever made. Me and my wife found starling online and with great reviews we decided to go from a high street bank society to starling our online savior! Easy to use, easy to save easy to access anything that you need! This was the best thing we have ever done, and we are so happy we have found Starling and would recommend this to anyone! Good abroad to use also and have been told Starling is the best bank to use when taking money out abroad. Reviewed on: 28th March 2021

Pain-free switch

5
I used the current account switching service when I’d had enough of the bank where I worked for years and it worked well. Yes it deactivated a few standing orders I’d not used for a long time but they were easy to cancel. Starling has been simplicity itself to use. I can move my money into various ‘spaces’ which helps me budget and save. Reviewed on: 28th March 2021

Banging bank

5
Moved from First Direct. Can't fault them at all. Even got the girlfriend over who strangely loves the bank card Reviewed on: 28th March 2021

Easy to use

5
Feel like Starling actually care about their customer base and bring out what the customers want. Reviewed on: 28th March 2021

Fantastic from Beta to now!

5
I’ve been with Starling bank since the beta era and back then they were pioneering the banking world, but now they are smashing the banking world apart and proving how it’s properly done! This is a bank what cares about the consumer above all. All my family & close friends have moved their current accounts and multiple family members have moved their business account also. They all say they will never look back. Reviewed on: 28th March 2021
