Good bank

5
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

love the immediate response

5
As soon as i make a transaction it sends me a message to say I have paid or received. It is instant. I like the way the mobile pap works and the way it looks. It divides purchases into types but if I don't agree I can change it. It is fab. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

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!
