Terrific transparent technology

It just works. Nothing gets in the way, nothing is clunky, they know what’s useful information and what’s noise, what works and remove what doesn’t. Like all great technology if you don’t notice it’s there then it’s working well. Also, the tone and culture is spot on. Serious, solid and cool without being stuffy, dull or boring.

First for customers

I find starling bank very customer satisfaction oriented Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Just fantastic

Had this account for 6 months and I love it. I've paid a cheque into my account by scanning barcode and few days later it was credited. I can save through it and have saved loads. Never thought I'd do online banking as being old fashioned high street banker but it's just fantastic. No more going to cash point to get statement and finding it closed!. Don't think I'll ever switch from starling. Just fantastic x Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Transparent spending at my fingertips.

I have always found money - and particularly the managing of it very difficult. As an autistic adult albeit high functioning, need always trumped availability and I found it very hard to mentally compartmentalise my spending habits or to budget in any way at all. Finding Starling Bank has changed that in literally one swipe of my phone ! I now have all my money divided literally into visual spending pots (SO necessary to the way my brain operates) and for the first time in all my years as a busy mother of 5 children who usually just scraped by month by month with no clear spending plan, I am now starting to save. Each day I can see at a glance just how much I have spent both daily and monthly and most of all you, Starling have given me a sense of control in my spending. For the first time I actually think about need in my spending as I do not want to deplenish my saving pots (!) (again an autistic thing - it feels like a backward step to take money out of a pot and now it's visual thing it makes so much sense! Thank you.) In a sentence I now take delight rather than the old despair when summoning up courage to look at my bank account! Wonderful Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Fun, trustworthy, easy

Joined Starling about 3 years ago and strange to say but I enjoy using it. It's never let me down and I've recommended it to so many over the years. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
