Starling is fab

easy, quick, looks great, instant response Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Best decision made!

I absolutely love Starling. I’ve always had trouble with other banks and also having to travel to bank offices. Starling has made it easy to go to any post office. It’s a simple, clean, easy and secure set up. Since I do everything online, I’m glad that I found a digital bank. Their support/customer service excellent. They supported me with a supposed scam from online shopping and resolved it very quickly and efficiently - issuing my money back to me. I originally joined because I was looking for a savings account. I like knowin what I’m saving for. Starling has made it very easy to save and budget with the pots but also the notifications and reminders or everything happening with my account. Another plus is that I can combine all my pension pots into one with starling. I have recommended to all my friends and family. My only comment is I would like to apply for a credit card with starling but I am not sure if they do this. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

So easy to use

I use my Starling account to pay for my groceries and it is so convenient. I’m notified on my phone instantly how much has been spent, and where, which also means I’ve been able to let my teenage daughter use it for essentials without chaperoning her. Fabulous product, easy to save money for other things too, but equally have it available if needed. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Very good

Amazing bank with excellent customer service Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Easy to use

Starling has a very user-friendly and smooth working app, no issues so far. The account creation process is also quick and efficient. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Excellent banking solution

All good switching and very reliable service. Well done Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Simple and Excellent

Having banked for nearly three decades with one of the smaller high street banks (not one of the big 5) I took the plunge in early 2020 and opened a Starling account for my personal spending, and it has been a revelation. So much simpler to keep everything in order, so much more immediate, without having to wait days to check the balance shown online is not still waiting for some payments to be accounted for, and a simple method for putting regular small amounts of money aside to save for specific purposes (already organised myself enough to buy a new bike). Cannot recommend their service, and app highly enough ... to the extent that it is only a matter of time before my main current account also moves over to Starling. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Top notch bank

Excellent experience with starling, I will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for the best bank. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

Fab account, easy navigation & reliable.

I really like my starling account, the ease of use & ability to request payments is good. The app is easy to navigate & no nonsense. I'm going to look at a kite account for my child too. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021

The Bird Bank (Starling)

Excellent service through the app. Had a problem with transferring funds while away from home. In the end had to phone Starling. Answered quickly and the problem was solved very easily. Good work. Reviewed on: 25th January 2021
