Amazing modern Bank

I’ve only had a couple of reasons to contact startling since opening my account in 2018 but the service has been flawless Reviewed on: 7th February 2021

Best bank ever.

5
I absolutely love Starling and what comes with it. The fact that I can do almost everything online is so convenient. I also have a children's space feature which allows my child to spend on their very own card for a fee of £2 a month. I could be here all day to tell you about the amazing features but it is the best bank ever and I highly recommend it Reviewed on: 7th February 2021

The best UK bank*

5
I have banked with Santander, Halifax, Nationwide, IF, numerous building societies and Starling stands apart from all of these on customer experience and ease of use. Not only is registering for account and getting up and running a brilliant expérience but their fees and all round value for money are typically class leading as well. Makes all other banks look dated and cumbersome at a stroke. Reviewed on: 7th February 2021
