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!

WONDERFUL BANKING EXPERIENCE

I HAVE EXPERIENCED NEW INNOVATIONS TO MY BANKING EXPERIENCE. THE DELIVERY IS UNPARALLELED. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Outstanding breath of fresh air

5
Every part of both mobile banking and the app provide a level of service so far above the conventional high street competitors that I only wish I’d switched considerably earlier Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Revolutionary

5
Never though having a mobile-only bank would be better but was easily proven wrong. Starling makes money saving a great incentive as well as putting money aside for investing. Hands down the best bank I have ever experienced. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Best bank ever used with no problems and very easy to use app

5
I have been with other big banks but starling is the best experience and been using it for last more than a year and never have any problem, very easy to manage through app and never feel the missing of high street branch of the bank as every thing can b handled online easily. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

A revelation

5
I have been a customer for about 3 years. It's a different way of banking. I have contacted customer service a couple of times and they have been second to none. The account is great value when using abroad, there are no charges and you get the exchange rate that is current for that exact time. I highly recommend Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021
