I'm not normally one for change but it has definitely been the right decision....being an older person and not very good at doing online banking this has to be the easiest system ever...many thanks starling...you will get my vote every time... Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Super efficient , easy to use

5
So easy to set up . So easy to use . Everything at your fingers tips. Clear , concise it’s great. Would definitely recommend to everyone I worked in a high street branch for forty three years , have just retired and would not bank with any other bank Great job Starling .. love it Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Customer focused, the human touch

5
Having the face and name of the founder to tie to your bank brings back the human element that has been slipping away from other banks. It makes it more trustworthy and easier to get involved with. The app has great features, such as spaces to help you save for individual goals. It's simple design and clear colour scheme helps all sorts of users to navigate easily. And the ease of use when checking past expenditure, adjusting settings and card limits etc. With their blog and community focus, they also seem to be more on top of scams and everyday banking concerns than others. It finally feels like a bank that cares. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Makes banking easy

5
Got an account for using on holiday originally, as no commission on foreign currency spending. The app is so easy to use I've started using it for other things too. I like the savings pots to put money aside for long term goals. Have recommended to others who have been impressed too. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

What everyone wants

A first class easy to use current bank account with straight forward online banking and they give 0.05% interest, perfect in every way. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Clients are a priority

Easy to open both a Euro and Sterling account- something the “Big 4” were not able to do. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Flexible control

5
Starling Bank has sprinted off the start line and is making its way down the home straight with fast, efficient banking, while developing and introducing new products at the front of the race. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best way to bank in the 2020s

5
I've been a starling customer for 4 years and simply cannot fault them. I love the intuitive and easy to use app and look forward to never having to set foot inside a bank branch again Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
