Great Bank

Keeps you informed. Easy to use app and I like the way it messages you every time a transaction is made. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant product!

Just so easy to set up and use and does exactly as it says on the tin Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Smart. Quick. Convenient.

Little left to be desired. The spaces make for easy allocation of funds. The breakdown - with quite decent autocategorisation - by purchase type (or by merchant) on a monthly basis is great. The app is feature rich, with little things like blocks on different types of purchases (should yo so wish it). Transaction are updated in near real time. Direct debits are easy to set up. Refunds are listed quickly. And now, there is internet access as well, and all statements can be downloaded to - or your finances managed from - your PC. Great stuff! Meets my expectations for a digital bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

No Brainer

At last a bank that keeps you up to date with your spending by the minute and with no bank charges. I should have moved here a long time ago. Next to change over will be my business account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A bank that just works.

Starling has all the features I've always wanted in a bank account. I want to create an account instantly, Starling does that. I want it to work with my phone apps, Starling does that. I want to cancel a card instantly if I've lost it, Starling does that. I want to see what I have spent and what I have left, Starling does that. All this and much more is why I love using Starling.

Excellent

Moved to Starling during lockdown 1.0. Seamless setup, the 7-day switch just worked, app and web do what they say on the tin. Every bank in the UK should take a long hard look at how Starling work. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

An app and bank built for today's consumer

I never normally evangelise for any company or product, but I'm unashamedly fan-girling over Starling. They have been brilliant from the sign up, to the on boarding, to on-going usage. It's literally changed the way I bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Simplest around.

My credit card and spaces card are simply fantastic to use.... love it. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The best online bank

I like the fact that can have current accound and Euro account. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent service

Looking to the future whilst dealing with day to day life for their customers on the banking front, making it as accessible and easy, in a time of upheaval and worry. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
