Brilliant banking experience

5
We first started tentatively with Starling, but after being thoroughly impressed with their service, user experience and ease of access compared to other banking providers, we went ahead and closed the current accounts we held with a competitor in favour of switching over totally to Starling. The switch over process was so easy, and we were kept up to date. With Starling, we truly feel we have control over our money and can easily see what’s going on with our accounts - unlike with the bank we moved away from. We have total confidence in Starling and would be happy to recommend them to anyone! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best Ever Banking Experience

5
Easy to register. Easy to use. And on top of that no card fees abroad. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to step up. Easy to use

5
I like a simple easy stress free world. Starling provides just that. Whenever i used the app or wanted something I didn't need to scratch my head thinking I'm the dumbest person in the world. Never failed me and I like to support smaller companies. Although I also use other bigger banks I like starling for its simplicity. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Welcome to the future

5
Starling Bank is the antidote to the old way of banking. The standing in queues, the hours waiting on the phone line, the delayed transaction updates, the whole experience. Starling swoops in and puts it all to shame with their excellent software, robust product offering and fresh approach to the customer banking experience. Open an account and you won't look back!
