Best banking app ever

Fab customer service, impeccable app functionality and uptime. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021

Great bank

Great at keeping you up dated and the app is quite easy to use. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021

Best Banking App

Extremely user friendly banking app lets me keep track of my spending habits and would recommend anyone who is starting to open a new current account. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021

Simple and direct

Recommended by my son, simple set up, transfers from other bank straightforward and very satisfied, especially as it notifies you when transactions take place. So useful Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021

No fuss

Everything works, quick and easy sign up, card received next day, no costs for fast transfers, all round excellent and no problems encountered. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021

Innovative banking

I moved over to Starling from Barclays almost a year ago and haven't looked back. It's a better interface to see how you're spending and what you're spending on. Easy to setup new payees and delete direct debits as needed. Just super simple. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021

Modern, fast, easy

Starling is a breath of fresh air. I can do everything from the app (or via the Web), including paying-in cheques, and the changes are instant. You get a great feeling of security when you know that swiping your card in a shop results in an almost instant notification on your phone, so if I ever dropped my card and someone used it, I'd know straight away and be able to cancel it. I like the way I can easily add notes and attachments to each transaction - this really helps me manage my joint account with my partner as I can say what a purchase from an unfamiliar merchant is, etc. Brilliant. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021

The very best Bank I have ever dealt with

Easy online Banking at its best. I can only praise Starling for its App and customer service, superb to use both. No downsides whatsoever for me. Reviewed on: 23rd February 2021
