The Bank for Real people

Starling is just a 'Real Bank'. Pure and Simple and very good at doing what a Bank should do. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Exceeds expectations

This account does everything you want with the bonus of extra features that are brilliant but you did not even know you wanted. I recommend this bank regularly. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Modern banking for a modern world

Starling bank is innovative and easy to use. I switched 2 years ago from a standard high street bank and I've never looked back. Absolutely love starling Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

My kind of bank

I love their no nonsense practical approach to setting up an account. They inform you clearly what's available, how to organize your account in a non bank, more user friendly way. You feel like you are in control at all times, purchases appear immediately on my phone, so I know exactly what's going on. They're great. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Banking as it should be - 5/5*

I've never had a complaint about Starling - but if I ever did, I'm sure it would be resolved by Starling just as the complaints I've had about some merchants and their fraudulent practices have been by Starling staff. Budgeting is super easy - with monthly spending broken-down into categories so you know when to trim back on something. Statements can be generated for specific date ranges with digital signatures - so submitting evidence of income online has never been easier. The instant spending alerts and security from the ground up make online and in-person shopping as safe as possible. I have full confidence in this bank. I joined in November 2019 and Starling keep going from strength to strength. It's no-wonder they've been voted Best British Bank EVERY YEAR SINCE 2018 and I believe they're still worthy of this accolade and others, too. From a very happy Starling customer.

Easy to use and great customer service.

Starling has been a pleasure to use since I first signed up. Responsive customer service and easy to navigate. It would be great if there was a desktop version of the app as looking though things on a phone screen isnt always ideal, and sometimes the livevcustomer service wait is a little long however these are small annoyances compared to all of the other brilliant features. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Great

Everything they do, smoothness of the app, exceptional Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Does exactly what I need

I have somewhere to put my money. I feel it is safe there. I have multiple ways to contact someone, whether it be urgent or just a general question. I have the ability to request money from anyone, anywhere, without having to send out my bank details. The app notifies me of all transactions, usually as they happen. I don't have a complaint - I think all of this is just great. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Easy efficient and better than high street

Easy to use, great app, great functionality. Won’t go back to a high street bank. Reviewed on: 18th February 2021

Worry-free banking

Delightful app, can do so much on it. I spend a lot of time in Europe and the contactless EUR card is great, it knows when a transaction is denominated in euros and will take the money from your euro account. Topping up the EUR account from GBP is easy and offers a great FX rate Reviewed on: 18th February 2021
