Amazing bank

Love everything about Starling, the end Reviewed on: 19th March 2021

21st century banking

Of course all the challenger banks have very similar offerings, but Starling is the oldest one, and that maturity brings some benefits such as being able to take cash out at a Post Office. It also has an in-app marketplace, which is a bit like those bolt-on benefits you can get with some current accounts, except that here they’re all provided by third parties. The only thing Starting doesn’t do that my Barclays account does do is that Barclays offers much more flexibility when choosing the date of a standing order: you can set it to second Tuesday of the month, last working day of the quarter etc but Starling only offers basic day numbers. Even to have a standing order go out on the last day of the month is impossible unless you start it in a month which has 31 days. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Best so far

All the convenience of an app-based bank, along with all the practicalities of a traditional bank. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Best bank!

Super easy to use and with a bunch of helpful features like the spaces you can put your money into. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Amazing app

The app is very good. Miles away from the competitors. I’ve got several accounts with Starling, both GBP and EUR, for both Personal and Business. It’s really simple to use. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Perfect

It’s been perfect really easy to use am more than happy with the service feel like I am in control in understanding my credit . Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Fab, no fuss account

No sale pitch, no being bombarded with marketing. This is a non nonsense company providing an excellent product and service. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021

Easy, Simple, Informative

Any mistake that is made is your own because this account and the interface on the app is so easy to use and its a great platform to build on. It does everything you want and Im sure there will be more to come in the future. The concept of spaces is great and the information provided, like a map of where the person is that you have sent money to, is helpful. This is the best bank in Britain. Reviewed on: 18th March 2021
