Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Excellent

5
Excellent easy to use and feels very secure . App keeps you in control of the account and it makes me feel it is my money not the banks .previous experience of large high street banks have often made it very difficult to access your own money . Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Opening an account with Starling has been the best decision I have made in terms of managing my finances.

5
The app plus card are easy to manage, accessible and side-step all the palaver of having to log on via my laptop when I am on the move. Most of all I like that I can transfer funds from £ to Euros in a few minutes from my phone and the help-line if I ever need it. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great service great bank

5
Its a pleasure to join a bank that's just s bank Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

What a great simple friendly modern bank

5
I love the simplicity most of all. I love being able to pay in cheques remotely from home. I love the user friendly interface. I love the easy going language. It is more like an app, something to make life easier and not really like a bank at all. And I love the non corporate feel which seems to come from the founder who seems more like me and less like a banker Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank ive ever used

5
So smooth, simple and quick. Easy to switch between accounts Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great App, excellent customer service

5
I am a student who has been with Starling Bank for a few months and I am impressed by how much access I have to my account. I receive international money transfers, deposit and withdraw with so much ease. Excellent service! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Just great

5
Simple to set up account with an easy to navigate app. Faultless over the few years I've been a customer. As some one who travels abroad 4-5 times a year (or I used to) their free ATM foreign cash withdrawals have saved me a lot of money in fees. Plus their exchange rate is always better than even the online bureaus. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great work

5
Starling has been very convenient and great service .I highly recommend it Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Happy starling customer

When we could travel it just made sense to have a starling account being so easy to use abroad being internet based, Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
