Easy Banking

I joined Starling Bank after having no end of problems with the usual high street banks. It was easy to open an account, I can pay in cheques by photo under £500 and there is never any hassle. If I need help there is always someone a click or phone call away.. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent bank

I opened a personal account with Starling several months ago and was so pleased that I opened a business account. Much better than my previous bank - real time information on the account, excellent support for my fledgling business 5* Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Quick and easy to set up

5
Starling's app is so simple to use and I like setting up the account and managing is all on my phone. Even when I got in a muddle when changing phones it was easy to verify who I was and regain access to my account with video. I especially like being able to have 'spaces' to keep money aside for different reasons. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

What every bank should be

5
Simple, easy to use, app is fantastic. euro Account a dream for our Euro payment to for our house in France. No high street bank comes close to customer service. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Forward Thinking

5
Thanks to the real-time information, the ability to move money in too little saving pots within the account, I am now more in control of my money than I have ever been. Thanks to Starling's forward-thinking approach to banking I have gone from being someone who used to bury their head in the sand with my previous bank (of 20 years) and not know what my real financial situation was like, to be able to know instantly how much money I have, what's coming in and what's going out. So user friendly and the customer service is amazing too. Could not recommend highly enough. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

So easy to use

5
Starling are by far the best bank. The way they let you know in advance whats coming and going out. 24/7 customer services and a very easy to use app Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Fab bank!

5
Moved from a clunky bank to this little beauty :) I love the app, and what we can do without having to go to a bank or ring anyone. When we do need to ask online for help, always quick to respond. I love Starling Bank! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
