Starling flies high

5
The best banking experience I've ever had. Sensible technology, that makes day to day financial management as easy as you need it to be. Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

A new bank for a new generation.

Since the moment I downloaded the Starling App I have continually been impressed with Starling. You can freeze your debit card, organise your finances and set money aside into a savings pot. These are things UK banks are just starting to offer. Help is almost instant for when you need it and everything works very smoothly indeed. Other things that have been introduced are business accounts and joint accounts and these are just a few of the implementations over the last couple of years. I have stopped using HSBC and I’ll never go back to the old, boring and stuffy traditional UK banks. Starling is fantastic. Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

Clear and simple

Everything you need and more

I have been with Starling Bank for over a year now and its fantastic. I cannot find fault with anything. Easy to use and understand app, down to uploading cheques to your account. Highly recommended. Now all the family bank with them Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

Breathtakingly simple!

At last, a banking app designed with the user in mind. Unlike other banking apps which attempt to mirror their online banking portals with less functionality and features, the Starling app is the bank. It appears as customer base grows they add more functionality. Well done Starling for making online banking a pleasurable experience! Reviewed on: 17th February 2021

Great No Hassle Bank

5
I have banked with Starling now for over a year, and was a little bit unsure as to how the service would be, without a High Street Branch, but I cannot praise their service highly enough. The app is so easy to use, and everything is so hassle free, that I think this is definitely the future of banking. Reviewed on: 17th February 2021
