Great experience in banking

Starling have a nice, genuine, non.corporate feel and tone with their customer communications. They develop their products that are innovative, user friendly and relevant for a progressive bank in the 21st century. I’m happy to have discovered. Starling bank. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021

Rethink your Banking

I opened a personal account to make great use of the saving spaces, its very easy and I love to add money each month. I recommended to a friend who also finds it easy to use but we connected to make a joint account also which was straight forward to set up and we can track spend, love the notifications that come in when she's spending!

Payments and transfers.

Payments and transfers have been made a piece of cake using the Starling app,what ever I need to do, whenever I need to do it even if it's the middle of the night, I know I can rely on my dream team at Starling Bank. Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021

Astonished

Having banked only with major high street banks since I left school I am astonished that I could have been so daft! None of them has ever impressed other than by their efficiency at making a quick buck, their total disregard of their customers' real needs and the ability of some them to say one thing and then do another - in other words to lie. With so many high street banks withdrawing from the High Street I thought it was time to look at the market; Starling seemed to be extremely well thought of so I moved my account. I have been astonished at how much easier everything seems - astonishingly good support and the app is fantastically good. I get notified of transactions before Mr Tesco can print my till receipt! Basically, I was astonished to find that old fashioned service still exists. Oh, and they pay me interest - not much, it has to be said, but I GET INTEREST! Totally astonishing! Best move I ever made!! Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021

All the family are in...

Starling has made banking so much more controllable with it's Spaces system and Euro account (when we can travel again!). All my family use Starling now and my husband has his business account on it. It's so easy to move between accounts and transfer money. The Kite system is innovative - my kids are too old now but I wish it had been in place for them when they were younger.

All on point, excellent customer service

I had to ring Starling bank with regard to atm fraud, they where excellent and helpful, and refunded my stolen money after the investigation, no fuss no drama Reviewed on: 22nd February 2021
