Easy Overseasy

5
I always use my Staling card when I am abroad. It’s accepted everywhere - no need to carry wads of currency, a good exchange rate and peace of mind should it be lost as the account can quickly be frozen from any smartphone. I can also top up my account in a couple of clicks. It’s changed my travel experience!! Reviewed on: 28th January 2021

Starling - a new exciting way to bank

I had been with my previous bank since I was 14 years old. My partner moved to Starling when they first started and I followed as I was so impressed with their service. I continue to be with their innovative ideas Reviewed on: 28th January 2021

Best digital banking

Starting are a brilliant Bank... their customer service is 24/7 and they resolve your issues within the app or on a call! I particularly like the in app approval for any large card payments I make to prevent fraud! I also use business banking which is great also! Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

No fuss, safe banking platform

5
Clear, concise and clever. Felt my details and information from application to set up was safe and secure at all times. There were no unnecessary hoops to jump through to prove my ID and I have been treated with respect when I have had to contact customer services on a few occasions. Finding this much better than the traditional High St banks on many levels. Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Simple fast and always open

5
I originally opened a Starling account as a subsidiary account to my main one but it has been so good I am thinking about transferring to it completely. I love the immediate notifications you get on spending and receiving money. The categorization is very helpful and it was very easy to set up. What's not to like! Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Best Banking Experience Ever!

5
I live part time in both the US and U.K. and as such, have regular international banking needs. After struggling for years with fees and lagging technology from other traditional banks, my friend recommended Starling. I have never liked a Bank more (or, for that matter, at all!). Starling is incredibly fast, easy and with great all-around user experience. I highly recommend trying it out. Reviewed on: 27th January 2021

Awesome bank

Does it all, simpler.

I've love being a Starling customer since the very start. Everything just seem so much easier than other banks I've used. I've only ever had to contact customer services once in 2 years; that tells you a lot. When I did, they were fantastic! Long live Starling! Reviewed on: 27th January 2021
