A dream banking experinece

I moved back from living overseas after several years. Traditional banks consider me high risk and I found everything really difficult to navigate. Luckily found Starling who first accepted me as a personal banking client, the onbaording experience was quick and simple. The savings function is a really useful way to manage my money and to build my savings. Later opened a business bank account with them and that has been equally simple. I have spaces for VAT, tax, pension and other savings so helps me again to manage the business money. Love the simplicity and looking forward to the launch of further products!

Efficient

Great backup and improving customer service Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Totally Refreshing

Totally refreshing change from the High Street Banks. No hidden charges, everything is clear and simple in plain English. Everything runs smoothly and no wasted money on High Street Branches. Being able to use their debate card abroad with no charges is a game changer too and a lot better than other online banks. High Street Banks are stagnating while Starling are breathing fresh air into the banking system and not before time. The banks can do with good awakening. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
