Good bank

Been with Monzo and Starling banks Starling stands out with fee free atm abroad , free cash deposit at post office, low overdraft fees and just feel better. Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

Helpful, simple bank

5
Starling have provided a quick user interface to make online/mobile banking as simple and as easy as possible. I love using them, and will continue to recommend to friends and family. Does exactly what it says on the tin, including spaces to save money for certain goals and sending money to colleagues through the quick and simple process on the app. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Great digital bank

I use my account for travel purposes. Very easy to move money from any account and keep track of exchange rate/account balance with instant notifications. I also feel secure using this card abroad and for online translactions. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

My Starling review

5
I am delighted with my account, the app is so good and easy to use. I especially like the option to block use of the card whenever. Also the confirm prompt you receive on cardholder not present. Keep it up Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

International transfers

5
Easiest and fastest way to receive and send money abroad . Absolutely love it Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

It's the ONLY British bank worth considering for this!

5
Just so far ahead of everybody else. They make everything simple for customers. The app is 20 years ahead if what ANYBODY else has. Their CEO is inspirational. They help me to organise my money and to save! Other banks bribe people to join them with cash payments, but none of them pay enough to make me leave Starling. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Brilliant

It is so user friendly. It has radicalised my finances. I am now much more financially independent and aware of my spending habits. So easy to set up in the first place. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Greta Bank for our time

5
Very efficient bank with great App and shows the other banks how a modern bank should be. Makes you realise how old-fashioned and inefficient the other banks are. Not had to try customer service because I have had no issues in the year I have had an account with them, hence have not needed to contact them. Just shows you how good they are. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
