1st Class Banking

5
Starling puts customers 1st. The moment you get in touch helping you is their number 1 priority. Living in rural Wales there are no Banks branches so having the app friendly Starling Bank was a game changer for me. I also love that they listen to their feedback and look to continually improve their services. The big Banks are now dinosaurs merely wanting to be insurance brokers. Bravo Starling keep up the good work. Many thanks D. Hughes Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The way all banks should be

5
Seemless app, effortless use and just a pleasure to use Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking made simple

5
Starling is very easy to use. I especially like the useful information, such as telling me when I last made a payment to a particular person and how much for, when I’m looking to make a new payment. If I’m paying the window cleaner for example I can see how long it’s been since he last visited! I like the spaces, which means I can put money aside for certain expenses.

Hands down the best bank out there!!

5
Absolutely fantastic bank! The app is by far the best I have used, really easy to use and simple to gain access. I used to bank with hsbc but everything was a right pain, getting hold of someone if you need to speak to them, the app is so limited and the security access is ridiculous. But starling uses the latest technology to get over this issues. Can’t recommend them enough! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
