Easy to use and simple customer service Reviewed on: 6th March 2021

Great bank ethos and super app

5
Been banking with the same major high street bank for over 40 years and made the decision to give Starling a go. After just a couple of months I closed my other accounts and moved everything to Starling. The app is brilliant, easy, innovative, forward thinking.... Alerts are instant. It is a breathe of fresh air after years of corporate, generic letters, rigidity and banking with fat cats. I am so pleased I made the move. A modern, forward thinking, simple yet highly effective bank account. I really like the 'saving spaces' within my account.... A unique yet great idea Reviewed on: 6th March 2021

Very good online bank

Right from the initial setup process of my dual current and business account, I found the service really simple and easy to do. I love the banking app. You can easily set up saving pots and add notes to the transactions. I love Starling. Reviewed on: 6th March 2021
