Customers First- Low Effort & Speedy Transactions

5
I moved to Starling about a year ago. I was nervous about moving from one of the more mainstream banks, but it was the best move I have ever made with finances! The app is great, notifications instantly every time I spend or receive money! No waiting for days for contactless payments to come out like my old bank. Lodging a cheque is fab, no trips anywhere - just took a photo of it in the app! Love the spaces to use for saving goals and putting money aside so I don’t spend it! The we green debit card is so stylish too. Can’t recommend Starling Enough! ⭐️ Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Switched for modern banking experience

I switched from TSB to Starling in the midst of lockdown and it has been the best thing I could have done with my money. Starling account is sleek looking, smart and provides me with instant update on where my money is and what else I should be doing with it to make the most of it. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Great service

5
Late last year i had issues getting money back from a travel provider. I sent an email to starling for help and straight away they helped me getting my money back in no time at all. Even when the holiday company contested my claim starling went to bat for me. Best bank by far recommended to a lot of my friends who have now made the switch 5* Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Reliable and effortless banking

My favourite bank. The app is quick and easy to use, with great looking design. (Almost) instant money transfers. If any problems, you can contact customer services directly through the app, and they are always helpful. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Banking at its Best!

5
Quite simply, Starling Bank is what all banks should be: simple to use/simple to save. Finding Starling was akin to designing my own bank - they make it so easy to keep track of your spending and to add/withdraw funds funds. Their spaces mean you can easily save, whether it be for a special item/occasion or just putting some money by, yet you can easily keep track of what you have, all in one place. As somebody who has used ‘traditional’ banks for years, Starling is a breath of fresh air and actually feels it is designed for the customer. I recommend to everybody - you will not be disappointed!
