Excellent service

The best bank account ever so easy to use Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Fantastic - nothing but praise

Clear bank app where you stay fully in control of your card's functionality, and great help when you need to speak to someone fast, any time, wherever you are in the world. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Modern, straightforward and designed for the 21st century

I had been frustrated over a long period of time, as it was clear my old ‘high street’ bank was confined in its flexibility by its use of dated legacy systems. Its online banking and mobile app offerings were very restricted and ‘clunky’ due to the fact that anything new had seemingly been ‘bolted on’, whereas Starling Bank has been designed from the ground up for how a bank should operate in the 21st century. It just works as a bank and makes everything you might need to do very intuitive and a joy to use. They even make the sign-up process as straightforward as possible with everything within reach from the comfort of your home. My partner and I moved our joint account from our old bank stress-free within 7 days with Starling taking care of everything and we haven’t looked back. I have no hesitation in recommending Starling Bank to anyone. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Everything just works.

Easy to quick to open an account, app is a doddle to use. Everything is clear and straightforward and everything just works. Enjoy the blog and all the regular updates and tips and pointers. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Bank who care for you

No matter your issue starling bank are always there to talk to. Live chat available all the time being able to talk to someone on live chat within 5 minutes at 11pm when I had a issue was great. They always take any feedback and ideas and put them into action. Thank you starling Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

So accessible!

My partner recommended Starling Bank. I was a bit apprehensive at first for two reasons. 1. as it’s all online and I wasn’t sure how safe it would be and 2. I’m terrible with technology so I thought it might not be for me. How wrong I was! It’s so easy to use and it’s on my phone so it’s to hand when needed. I love that it has ‘Spaces’ so you can move money there if you’re saving for something and it won’t get eaten up so to speak! It’s the best choice I ever made banking wise. Thank you Starling Bank!

Best bank I've ever used!

I will never use a traditional "bricks and mortar bank" ever again. Starling Bank app for me has revolutionised how to utilise and control my finances than I ever could with " no help off Nationwide". Starling is #1. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021

Smart spp

A simple and easy app to use and navigate around. No waiting on the bank to clear a transaction, payment can be released through the app. Account was quick and easy to set up and transfer. Reviewed on: 20th February 2021
