Simple and effective answer to banking; love it!

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

Banking made easy and convenient

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

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