When I arrived here, I had no idea which bank account I shall prefer, then I found out about Starling from University's recommendation page. Applied, and within 7 days I got my Debit Card, and could easily activate and the overall process of opening and account to getting it to operate was easy and straight forward.

You can’t say anything more than it just works. You need to do something, you can just do it through the app. If you can’t do it through the app then you can get in touch with their friendly customer service team who respond quickly. I managed to buy a house from the comfort of my sofa with Starling! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Oldie gets new tech banking

5
Getting an account and using it with Starling has been an easy and flawless experience for me, using my smartphone. The software has been cleverly designed to cope with those of us that don't have the dexterity of teenagers. I get quite annoyed with other applications which need to be used with great care, but Starling seems to be very robust and helpful. Common sense and good design, well done Starling.!
