Good bank

5
Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Changed the way I think about money

5
Starling makes money clear. If I buy something on my card - it comes off my balance. There’s only one balance shown , even though some payments might technically be pending. I love the spaces. I title them so I know what to save and how often. Every bit of my money is accounted for and whatever is left is my balance. If I’m saving for an occasion and need to spend I just remove it from the saving space and spend. It’s an absolutely amazing bank. Thanks! Reviewed on: 1st February 2021

Amazing bank! 10/10 would recommend! Reviewed on: 31st January 2021

Perfect service

5
I really like using Starling because the app is clear, quick, and easy to use. Their FAQs are relevant, and if you need to speak to someone you can do that too, without having to 'be on hold' on the phone. Their services are constantly improving, and their Connected card is an example of how they adapted to help their customers during the pandemic. I already recommend them to friends and family :-) Reviewed on: 31st January 2021

A very nimble, user friendly, and free bank.

Love Starling, recommended to my family

Such an easy and efficient app. Real time track of your spend, confirmed to your mobile at the time which is so reassuring. App is so easy to use, move money effortlessly to / from other accounts, and into Spaces on the app. I have recommended to family members and they are all loving it's easy functionality.

Best Digital Bank

Starling is a great bank, I have switched to them as my primary bank. The main benefit is the fact that everything can be handled easily over the app, without ever having to go to a branch and only occasionally phoning them. Reviewed on: 30th January 2021
