Wonderful experience

5
I've been with a different bank since I was a boy, but their service just got worse and worse, lagging behind the times. Starling has shown me a glimpse of what banking should be, and I'm much much happier. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

Fantastic, easy to use, reliable Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

Fantastically simple banking

5
Starling continue to impress from the simple and secure opening process to the clever “invisible” savings through rounding up spend into a spaces pot. The app works every time and gets better with each release. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

So easy to use

5
I signed up for a Starling Current Account last February and have been using it throughout lockdown for everyday spending. I've since started my own small online business, and Starling was my first choice of business account. I'm incredibly happy with how easy the app is to use, how quickly payments land in my account (compared to traditional, high street banks) and I also love the fact that I can get a small amount of interest on my personal current account too.

Great app and Customer service

5
Easy to use and secure app. Meaningful account benefits e.g. free international withdrawls. Fast and knowledgable customer service with real people. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

I recommend Starling to everyone

There’s a lot to be said for the way Starling puts its customers first, offering up features ahead of their so-called competitors and changing banking for the better. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021

Banking for the modern, tech savvy professional who within 2 minutes will wonder where this level of service, technical expertise and sheer pleasure inducing app experience has been all their lives- managing your money shouldn't be painful, with Starling it’s awesome. Reviewed on: 27th March 2021
