Excellent in app/email customer service. Innovative ideas that are just ahead of competitors and a sleek design and interface Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent customer service, nice app

5
Registration was smooth. I love how everything works via the app and I feel instantly in the know of expenses and can approve them on my phone or tablet. Keep it up! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

New start, new bank.

5
After having a joint bank account with RBS for over thirty years I have ventured off on my own on both a banking and personal level. So going forward it’s out with the old and boring and in with the new and exciting. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

21st century banking

5
Starling came highly recommended to me by my son in law who know I was very frustrated at not being able to pay in a couple of rare cheques at either the high street bank no longer on my high street or the online bank who promised me 3 years ago they would soon have electronic cheque facilities without resorting to the Royal Mail. And what a brilliant recommendation. Easy to use, supreme customer communication and very straight forward. I finally have a bank I can trust. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great customer experience

5
I feel like I can trust the Starling team and enjoy the app they have put together. The functionality seems designed to help people avoid fraud and spend responsibly. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

OMG absolutely amazing

5
Just incredible, easy to use App, excellent customer service, just awesome, puts dinosaur banks like Natwest to shame. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great Account

5
Simple, easy to use and versatile. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent!!!

5
Extremely easy to set up, use & makes it so much easier to save money for whatever reason. Wish I’d have changed bank sooner! My whole family is now with Starling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Super easy to use and aesthetic

5
Super easy to use and aesthetic card and platform! I especially love the dual Pounds and Euro account, as well as the saving spaces to set money aside for various things instead of all lumped together into 1 single account. No issues so far! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to use, cards are a bit useless though

4
Have had no issues contacting them if I have a query, app is straightforward and easy to navigate, my only issue has been with the debit card, I've had 5, I think, since October, chip scratches easily and card number fades quickly, doesn't cost me anything to replace, but from a costing and environmental angle, surely a slightly better quality(embossed) debit card would make more sense.
