Banking in the digital age

5
Brilliant banking experience. The ability to do everything online is incredibly convenient (especially in a national lockdown), and spending information appears as soon as I make a payment anywhere. I feel confident that my money is safe, as I'll know immediately if anyone starts using my card. Moreover, the ability to lock and unlock the card from the app is yet another layer of security. Starling is the first bank I've joined, and I doubt I'll be leaving anytime soon. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!

Starling has exceeded my expectations in every respect. The app is easy to use and clear in its contenet. The telephone Support Services are extremely helpful, polite and prompt with their answers. The Chat facility, although obviously very much used and therefore queued, is equally as good as the telephone service. All in all, a superb service. Please keep ot up!

Perfect

I came to Starling Bank after hearing a program on the radio about its Head and decided to find out more. What I discovered convinced me to open an account and I'm very glad I did. I had until then been using one of the big high street banks for all my banking, but had been less than happy with the service provided. Starling has been the complete opposite - it has exceeded all expectations, is easy to use, secure, makes all transactions transparent and is extremely easy and straightforward to use on the go on the app. I love it - and I have a senior bus pass, so if I can find it simple to use anyone can. It is like a breath of fresh air to the banking industry. Well done to all involved in this brilliant product. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
