Banking that just works

In this ever changing mobile world every now and then inspired innovation comes along Lady’s and gentlemen Starling Bank With easy to use clear to navigate apps I and my wife can hold mobile banking in our hands we move our money pay online and save for that special something all from our hand with Starling No nonsense banking that just works Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Simple and always looking to be better

Honestly don't see why anyone would stay with one of the old banks when people like Starling are always looking at ways of making things easier and better Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Meets all my needs

I was skeptical at first - would I cope with a branchless bank? Would I cope without a savings account? Well the second question was easy to answer, since for some time, I had practically been paying the bank to keep hold of my money for me, such are the interest rates these days. So I experimented by opening a Starling account and just adding £1000 to play with. I loved it more and more and after a few months decided to make the switch, transferring all my money from two other banks to Starling. Well, I say I transferred it, but I didn't - Starling did it all for me. Now I can pay in cheques by just taking a photo and I have access to all the cash machines if I need to take money out up to my daily limit. I've never needed much more than my daily limit in cash, but I assume I could withdraw a larger sum from the Post Office if I needed it. The best things of all for me are being able to open the app quickly and easily with my fingerprint and getting an alert every time I make a transaction. Also, the way that the app displays daily and monthly transactions, both by type and by merchant. It has made me realise that I am probably holding up UK's supermarkets singlehandedly! Quite embarrassing really! I have not missed not having a branch at all. To be fair, my home branch is 250 miles away in Wales, but I haven't missed access to any branch - but ah yes, that's another reason I love Starling... because Anne is from Wales! Pob nerth i'r Cymru!! : ) Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Banking For Today, Not Yesterday

I have had an account with another bank for over forty years, but they have latterly become far less accessible through branch closures and poor -in fact virtually non-existant- phone and online support. Looking for an alternative I found Starling and everything about them has proved to be a positive contrast, being far more customer-focused and user-friendly from account setup to app operation. I now feel like a valued customer rather than the inconvenience I appear to have become for my other bank. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

Amazon

Easy to use and easy to open. Fast and quick. Simple and easy navigation system. Reviewed on: 23rd January 2021

The Best Bank Period!

This is the future of banking, the bank is so good that it makes the high street banks seem like they are still stuck in the stone age. I recommend Starling to everyone. I now have a personal and 2 business accounts and will never go back to a high street bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

excellent app based banking

starling has been my number 1 bank for a number of years now and continues to delivery an excellent service, by way of app and customer support Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Feels amazing to be a part of

I love every bit about the bank. I love spending money on my card and how involved you feel in the whole process of saving and spending money. I don’t feel like someone is keeping my money for me it feels like I’m in complete control. Could not recommend it more. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Convenient and accessible to my needs

In both convenience and accessibility I have found using the App to be my greatest customer experience. As I am able to add on new payee account anyway safely and securely. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simple app, great experience

Opened account a year ago to test it out, have never looked back. Is now my main bank, never had any issues that weren’t quickly resolved and the app is so very easy to use. Very happy customer! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
