An excellent and easy to use bank

5
No fuss, easy app. Banking is simple. I love the app based cheque service. That has been a revelation for me. Easy to send and receive money and use money abroad. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy to use

5
Great bank account. Everything clear and easy to use. Makes my life easier. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Game changer!

5
Has made banking on the go so much easier at home and overseas. Cannot rate it highly enough. High street banks make you spend hours in branches to carry out simple transactions or to open accounts with loads of paperwork. With Starling you apply online, get set up quickly and everything just works as it should: simple fast and effective. It makes me feel good about banks again! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

A simpler more effective way of banking

5
Having been a customer of Starling for more than 2 years I am always blown away by the simplicity and effectiveness. A much smoother experience than any other bank - including other new banks! Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy access and great service

5
Starling Bank is the second I've tried in the past year for my tiny, fledgling business. I chose Starling because of its strong ethical credentials and have stayed because it is great value, and stunningly easy to use. It offers everything I need, from quick access using my phone's fingerprint facility and downloadable statements, to easily accessed and copied account details. Yay Starling! It's great to know that my convenience is not at the expense of environmental and social issues that are important to me. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

I would definitely recommend starling

5
Starling bank is very easy to use and set up and navigate. They respond quickly to any questions and also implemented helpful options like uploading cheques so no need to post. Transfers are straightforward and security is good - the app is easy to use with lots of functions and alerts and will question anything it doesn’t think looks right or account names that don’t quote match. I have been very happy with starling and would be happy to recommend to others Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

I moved to Starling in October 2020. The transition was seamless, and I love the app.I don't miss a physical bank as I'd been banking with the Clydesdale for decades. Wish I'd moved sooner. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

excellent, and a refreshing alternative to the stuffed shirts!
