Starling are refreshing - great app - great service

I chose Starling because they combined a team with good solid banking experience and excellent start of the art technology. Haven't been disappointed! The app is great, very easy to use. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Ease of use, innovative, fast, handy (especially the mobile app). Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Cannot express in words :)

Just no words to describe the brilliance of the app and the whole service.. i have transferred my accounts over and managed everything without the need to call customer service. .the card locking controls from the app is the best that no other banks can offer... I have the peace of mind not having to worry about my card being misused or stolen. I love you Starling Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Loved it from the start

Loved the concept , love it in practice even more, the way it works is great, being able to chat with someone in the app is also an absolute blessing if you have an issue they are always on hand. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great customer service

Love the ease of use of the app. Transactions show up on my phone instantly and any time I've had to contact Starling Bank the query has been dealt with and any issues fixed as soon as they could be. So glad I switched from my old bank which I'd been with since I was 14(I'm now nearly 50) Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

An excellent all round account

Starling is so user-friendly, it surprises me (in a good way) every time I use it! Sending notifications as soon as you've completed transactions; adjusting balance immediately afterwards; instant transfers; great exchange rates; brilliant for using abroad... The list goes on. I thoroughly recommend Starling whenever I can. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The perfect account for everybody

The Starling peronal account is great for travellers, easy to use and no additional charges imposed when you use your debit card in shops (and ATMs for cash withdrawals), worldwide. The push notifications are great too, everytime a transaction takes place on your account, a message will be sent to your mobile phone app so you always know what's happening, wherever in the world you are. I also find the inpayment of cheques very handy, so simple to do and no need to leave your home. Lastly for making foreign payments Starling is the bank to use, with most banks the transaction fees are in tens of pounds, with Starling the fees can be less than a pound. I really cannot recommend Starling highly enough. Several of my family and friends have listened to my message and have opened a Starling account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Modern Smooth Experience

I can easily keep track of my spend and the functionality of the app is really helpful in managing my funds. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Amazing

The whole way that this online bank has been thought out is brilliant. The connected cards was a great idea and is certainly helping me during these very strange times. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
