A simple and great challenger bank

5
Starling bank has an excellent offering, with an app that is simple and quick to use. Setting up a joint account and converting to foreign currency was so easy! All banks should be like Starling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

The best bank account

5
So easy to use, superb customer service, banking for now rather than something that was designed 20 years ago and polished to make it look modern. From the app through to modern day 2FA that uses the app rather than an SMS you copy and paste. Really well thought out service. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant and very straight-forward

Good, good and good Good, good and good Good, good and good Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

This bank is underrated

5
I absolutely love starling, it has been so useful in terms of keeping an eye out on what comes in and out of my account. It’s so easy to use, I can keep track of everything l spend on a daily. Also the kids kite cards are amazing, my 7 year old feels like a little adult getting to use her card and buy goodies. It’s like preparing them for the adult life and responsibility ahead of them. I highly recommend this for everyone. Thank you starling bank. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Starling is what modern banking should be like. Puts the old big banks to shame. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Efficient Banking for the Customer at its heart

5
I find that whether it is setting up the account to having a euro and sterling on the same card the processes are customer based. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
