Vast improvement on a Big Name bank

5
I switched to Starling from a 'Big Name Bank' after frustration with customer service and poor support for their app while simultaneously reducing in-person banking. Banking with starling has been a refreshing change. Security checks are tight during some transactions (a good thing if occasionally annoying), with regular updates and fixes to the Starling app. I have contacted their customer support once or twice and received a prompt reply to my query. And I really like the 'saving spaces' for dividing up little 'pots'. The only difficulty I have experienced is in the way some online retailers process repeat subscription orders. I found a solution to this by setting up a new 'space' with virtual debit card to overcome this issue. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024

I love my account a brilliant bank.

I love the way the account is run boxes etc the customer service I received is excellent you speak to an English person who handled my query efficiently and very helpful. Also I feel security is good when I have to confirm a new larger payment in the app, makes me feel secure. Also I congratulate you on your recent help when I noticed a false debit on my acc, you immediately cancelled my card which stopped another one going through, issued me a new card which arrived 3 days later. The agent I spoke to was very reassuring as I was very worried as to how it happened. Definitely a bank I love. Thank you. Reviewed on: 12th April 2024
