Simple and effective answer to banking; love it!

5
I'm always dubious in dealing with things that are 'intangible', I am an architect so I am used to foundations and structure but I have found Starling to be easy to manage, reliable, and a service that is effective on all levels. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

It just works.

5
No drama and no problems. The Starling account simply works. As a current account and spending facility, it is simple to use and has been totally reliable. The only improvement would be an attached credit. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Excellent Banking

5
An amazing bank that gives great support and it's very trendy. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Banking made easy and convenient

5
I switched from a hughstreet bank to online about a year ago and will never look back. Everything is so quick and easy and well designed for user friendliness. Better then any main hughstreet version of online or app banking that I have used Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Best bank I've ever had

5
Before Starlink Bank, I used N26, but after they left the UK, I had to choose a new bank and it became Starling. I thought I couldn't find a better N26, but Starling is the best bank I've ever had. Convenient application, it is possible to deposit money via Post Office, instant notifications, monthly accrual of %, it is always possible to solve the problem through the mobile application. I also use HCBS Bank, but even with its own branches, Starling Bank wins on all counts. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Easy set up

5
Excellent easy of access in setting up the account, would definitely recommend to friends and family Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021

Exceptional user experience and easy to use platform

5
I have changed few banks since my first payslip back in 2015 and so far Starling had been the platform that met most of my needs. Being an European worker I enjoy the double EU/GBP account and the ease of transferring founds from one currency to the other. The app is catchy and has lot of features really useful for savings, such as the goal function to set aside change for every spending done with the card. I never had to complain or reach out to the support centre bit I have no doubt the would be on point for any issue I may have on the future. Reviewed on: 22nd January 2021
