Brilliant bank

Very easy to use. Efficient staff when contacted and problems solved. All aspects of the account are easy to use. Transfers in and out are quick and alerts sound immediately. Foreign ATM withdrawals free and no charges on debited amounts home or abroad. Well done Starling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great New Way of Banking

Starlings is a brilliant new way of banking always getting a alert straightaway with with a tea cast iom gone theough or declined like the way how it so easy to use the online banking to. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank for travel

Despite the challenges of 2020 I spent quite a bit of time in other countries, and with the exchange rates and ease of use of Starling its easy. I always know exactly what I spent and the rate I got. Everything in the app just works without issues and managing money is easy. This is how banking should be! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The best of the best

Deals with my problems very promptly and satisfactorily Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Why are people so reluctant to change?!

Honestly, the starling team are great. I've contacted them three or four times and each time I have received prompt, clear, concise responses without caveats or preamble. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Exquisite!

I have never had such a good experience before with any other bank. Such easy and simple to use interface with brilliant features such as instant notifications, instant card freeze, wonderful customer support, spending manager and custom app integrations, and much more that I cannot even name! They listen to our feedback and carefully weigh our enquiries such as my previous inquiry of planting a tree when referring someone. They are always updating and putting more effort into the app with security and accessibility features. Free to use almost everywhere in the world, recommended for everyone, open an account in minutes! The only improvement I can suggest is if they can provide a credit card and remove the unnecessary limits such as £20.000 deposit limit annually etc. which I hope they will do by time. Refer a friend and plant a tree, don't know what else to ask for! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Very good

Very good bank. Easy withdrawals and at the for front of technology. Love the scan cheque system instead of having to post it - very good for covid times when you can’t leave the house! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
