Excellent service

Have nothing but praise for Starling Bank. Customer service is second to none, always polite and do what they say they are going to do. Keep up the good work and good luck Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Quite a clever idea!

Seems that it is not quite as easy to speak to the bank as it should be. Tried 3 times to reach the bank by phone last Friday as I had accidently paid Microsoft twice £59.99 for the same product. A puzzle indeed to reach Microsoft by phone that I have not been able to resolve. At 82 years of age, I simply find it daunting if not impossible to do what the bank suggested to tell them! To my mind, decrepit as it may be, the bank that made the double payment was the right way to go. So now I am £59.99 out of pocket and Microsoft are that much richer. Seems only I care about me?

Perfect for me and so many more. Customers.So pleased led by a woman who knows her product and market Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Does everything it should

First class app and service. Also great control of permissions on cards etc. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Why aren't all banks like Starling?

Starling should be held as the standard for how every other bank should operate. Everything from set up to everyday banking is simple and straightforward, and their ethical stance is great too. What's not to love?! Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Practical, modern banking

The app works brilliantly, I like the saving spaces and ease of use. I was particularly impressed by the ease of making an international payment. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent bank

I have used Starling for my business originally and was sold on the bank, I then opened normal current accounts and a Euro account. During this time I have also recommended Starling to already 10 people who have all opened accounts and they love the Starling brand. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great app

I had used online banking prior to switching to Starling but it had always been clunky. Starling shows how good it can be on a mobile device. I only wish I could do everything on a desktop too in case I lose my mobile. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Excellent Financial Services

Straightforward application online, which is then supported by an easy to use mobile banking application. You are kept updated via notifications of spending and transfers etc. Highly recommended. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
