Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Best bank I have ever had

5
I love Starling so much. It’s so easy to use and helps me keep track of my money. It’s the best bank I’ve ever had and the best modern bank. I’ve also tried Monzo, but Starling is much easier and more intuitive to use. Reviewed on: 25th March 2021

So simple to use with great features

Great Experience of a new bank

After everyone under 35 raved about Monzo, I felt pressure to join the gang but then I came across Starling and was struck but the simple design and am really pleased by the easy money categorisation, ability to round up pennies into savings and quick customer service. Would highly recommend for those looking for a second account for spending money or looking to break away from the big bad banking names. Reviewed on: 25th March 2021

Starling is still the best!

5
I have been using Starling since 2018 and have never had a problem with the service, contacted customer service twice in that time and have always had a fast and most importantly helpful response. The app is really easy to use and can easily see exactly where my money is going. Starling has really helped me reduce what I spend each month and save for the future. Reviewed on: 25th March 2021

Best bank hands down

The most intuitive online banking I’ve ever used. Customer service is second to none. Visibility on your spending is easy to understand and analyse to help you better budget your finances and manage direct debits. Send and receive money instantly and at the click of a button. They continue to develop and innovate and I literally recommend them to anyone and everyone Reviewed on: 24th March 2021

Best and easiest bank to deal with

Great app, simple interface, good product range, responsive support team and push notifications really help keep an eye out for incorrect transactions. I really hope they continue to innovate in this space as they have so far, very happy customer. Reviewed on: 24th March 2021
