Exactly what a bank should be

5
The app is easy to set up, secure but easy to use, it updates in realtime and is easy to transfer money. You can use the app to show how much you have spent in categories, shops or a time frame. Without this account I would not be able to budget and be back on track with debts. The big banks could and should learn a lot from Starling. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Easy to use online banking

5
I found Starling when looking for a card I could use abroad without high charges. I have found it easy to use on line - helpful when in need. The helping hand card has been useful in lock down and being able to manage several savings pots is great. I would throughly recommend Starling to anyone. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Simply excellent

I love Starling’s interface and usability so much! It’s aesthetically pleasing and has all the things needed for easy access pots and savings! Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Super easy to use and puts the customer at the centre

5
LOVE my Starling account, the App is super easy to use, the navigation is great and the customer service so good at actually being able to help (rather than taking half an hour just to get on the same page about your query). Shame the interest rates have gone down, but that applies to all banks. Fully recommend - I'm still keeping my account, even though the rates have gone down. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

Banking perfection.

I have only recently opened my account having always used one of the more traditional institutions. However, Starling Bank provides exactly the right tools to give me confidence in what I have, records of what has happened and feedback on what and where I have spent it. And all in a mobile app! Brilliant. Reviewed on: 26th January 2021

I've had a few problems (which were not the banks fault) and each time I called the customer service they were extremely kind and helpful. The app is really easy to navigate and it took me less than a hour to figure everything out, compares to other mobile banks I truely believe starling is the best one Reviewed on: 26th January 2021
