Easy as 1-2-3!!!

5
The easiest & simplest bank app to use IN THE WORLD!!! Plus I've used it ALL over the world!! Being a woman of a certain age & not very teckki, I've made a fair few mistakes & there's always someone on the end of the line TO TALK TO ( not a recording) & put things right. Really, can't recommend Starling enough.... Forget digital keys, trillions of passwords to enter & other such sorcery - Starling keep it simple but safe & eefective. Thank you!!

An innovative, caring bank.

The app is so easy to access and navigate. The way they (Starling) operate is a lesson for the so called “Big Banks”. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

No longer anxious

5
I've been so grateful to find Starling bank. I no longer feel anxious to look at my bank account since I am in control and not controlled by my money - or lack of it. Starling make it so accessible and straightforward to save and monitor spending. I started 2021 by moving my main current account to Starling and already seeing the benefits of financial management.

Best bank I’ve ever banked with. So much better than the high street banks with their clunky processes and technology that waste everybody’s time. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

best bank i have used in years

Starling is the most easiest and forward thinking bank i have ever used such an easy account to run and maintain. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Love it

5
Starling's easy navigation, controls and format have fundamentally changed my banking, spending and saving habits. For the first time in my life I've been able to keep a proper track on my spend. I devote funds into 'spaces' so that I can save properly. I can switch funds easily between accounts. Customer service has always been immediately available and responsive to my needs. Without a hint of irony or exaggeration, honestly Starling has actually changed my life for the better. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021
